A demonstration of resounding superiority, which perhaps even surprised his team: Max Verstappen was simply from another category in qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, and even if he starts from 15th position tomorrow, his chances of winning are not so low. . The Dutchman is in total confidence and he showed it again today, giving Sergio eight tenths of a car being equal Perez, who at the last “threw” the pole due to a driving error, but will still be second behind Carlos Sainz. A Perez who can win tomorrow, according to the words of his team principal Chris Horner. According to the Red Bull team principal, starting second in Spa is not so bad, as it allows you to take advantage of the slipstream on the Kemmel.
“Advantage that big? I honestly didn’t expect that. There has never been such a big gap all season. Phenomenal performance from Max on new and old tires. There hadn’t even been a need to make a last attempt. It seems like a strong message from youHorner told Sky Sport F1. “Here the 2nd place is perhaps even better than the first, in the initial lap. I don’t want to say that I prefer second place to pole, but it is better that this result comes here than on other tracks: in turn 1 and up to turn 5 there can be great possibilities and we have seen this often in the past. If he is behind Carlos in Turn 1 he will have a chance“.
