Ve♒rstappen and Red Bull endured a tough start to the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix weekend as the three-time world champion struggled with his RB20 car thrꦇoughout both practice sessions on Friday, as well as final practice on Saturday morning.
The Dutchman did not top any session heading into qualifying but managed to turn things around when it mattered most, edging the McLaren duo of168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Oscar Piastri and Norr☂is to claim a record-tying ཧeighth consecutive pole position.
“I know Max🌳 hasn’t had the smoothest weekend but I think if anyone doubting Red Bull or him coming back and doing a good job in qualifying, they’re a bit stupid,” Norris, who missed out on pole by 0.091 seconds and qualified third, said.
“I really expected him to be back on track, annoying to miss out to him once aga♊in in qualifying. But we’re close and I think we’re happy as a team.
“We’ve all perfo𒉰rmed. If we can continue and have strong race pace lik♒e we had yesterday and like we had in Miami I think we can have a good race.”
Asked where he ranks this pole compared to his others, Verstappen replied: “In the last couple years it is defi♋nitely one of the best I would say, because it's been a while that I felt like, we've been that far off.
“I mean, Singapore, we were off the whole weekend, so that was just a terrible weekend. But here we were also quite far off and then we managed to turn it around. So it must be at least five, six♎ years, I don't really remember being abl💯e to turn it around like that.
“We kept on working,” he continued. “Even this morning, it was not good. Just kept on trying to improve the balance of the car, because it was sh𒁏ifting a bit all over the place yesterday and this morning.
“I honestly went into qualifying like 'if we could get top five, I would be happy be🐻cause this weekend has been really difficult'. There was really no reference going into qualifying.”
