Singapore.- The Dutch Max Verstappen of Red Bull, outstanding leader of the World Championship Formula 1who celebrated his 25th birthday this Friday with the fourth time in free practice for the Singapore Grand Prix, the seventeenth of the year, declared at the Marina Bay circuit that the important thing will be tomorrow in the qualifying session.
“I think we started very well in the first free practice (where he scored the second half) and afterwards. in the second, we wanted to test a few things that took longer than expected to be changed”, explained the Dutch driver of Red Bull.
Max Verstappen this Sunday he has his first ‘World Cup Ball’ at Marina Bay: if he wins and the Monegasque Charles Leclerc of Ferrari does not improve a ninth place in Singapore, as long as his Mexican teammate Sergio Pérez does not exceed a fourth place; or he ends up in that position without setting the fastest lap. Verstappen would also retain the Formula 1 title this weekend if he wins with the fastest lap, the Côte d’Azur driver doesn’t improve an eighth and Checo doesn’t get on the podium.
“We don’t shoot much, so it’s not representative of what we can do,” he said. Verstappenthat if he revalidates the title this Sunday he will be two-time world champion in the Formula 1 and will add 32 victories, equaling in those sections the statistics of the Spanish Fernando Alonso.
“Of course there is room for improvement; and we still have to analyze if the changes we made worked or not”, commented ‘Mad Max’, eleven times victorious so far this season.
“In my opinion, the important thing will be tomorrow, when we see how fast we can be in one lap,” he said. Verstappenreferring to the rating.
