Hungary teaches: never give Max Verstappen for dead. If even on a twisty circuit the reigning world champion managed to recover nine positions and win the grand prix, imagine what he can do at Spa-Francorchamps, where overtaking is much easier, Red Bull flies and he takes it to the stratosphere, thanks to his talent and a period of dazzling form. After the pace shown by the Dutchman all weekend, he is not surprised that even those in front are looking in the mirrors. Carlos did too Sainzwho despite Verstappen’s pole position and 15th position does not feel safe from his clutches for tomorrow.
“I think Max can win tomorrow. If I had done the lap he got today, I would be confident I can do it as soon as something happens in front or a Safety Car arrives. The gap can also be closed from behind. I am happy to start from pole, obviously I am not very happy to see the gap from Max this weekend (in qualifying it was six tenths, ed.) and what Red Bull has on us. We need to continue to investigate to understand why Red Bull is so fast on this track and because we are behind, but starting from pole is a good starting point and we will try to win from this position tomorrow“Said the Spaniard after qualifying. “My first run of Q3 was cleaner. The first lap was enough for the second position, I knew he would give me pole. I am baffled by such a great gap from Max and Red Bull. This makes me wonder how it can go tomorrow. Our race pace is better than in qualifying, but we will certainly have to find something to improve“.
