Max Verstappen is “too slow”

Max Verstappen signed the 5th fastest time in qualifying. The Red Bull driver struggled to control the behavior of his car and believes that the underwhelming performance is due to the wrong choice of the rear wing.

The three-time world champion believes he is too slow, due to a rear wing that is slowing down the Red Bull. Red Bull has managed to cut into the bulk of its wing today to reduce drag to a minimum, but it is not enough.

(English translation)
“We are too slow, especially on the straights because of this rear wing, but also in the corners, we are not perfect,” he commented after the qualifying session on Canal+. “For many reasons, it is difficult to maintain consistency on the car. I have tried a lot of things. Every lap in qualifying, I tried to find something to improve grip. But it’s difficult and it’s also a street circuit, so it’s complicated. I couldn’t do much.”

However, if the Dutchman is unhappy after the qualifications, it is also because if he wants to win the title in Vegas this weekend, he wants to do it in style. For the championship it’s good, but I would like to have a good race tomorrow and try to win it if possible.

For the record, Max Verstappen can win the title in any case as early as this Sunday if he finishes ahead of Lando Norris.

Happy for Gasly

Pierre Gasly delivered an incredible performance by taking third place in the qualifying session. He surprised many people in the paddock, and his former teammate congratulated him.

« Oh yes I told him well done, it’s a great result for him and his team, but it will be interesting to see how they will perform tomorrow. But he had a great qualifying.
