Max Verstappen: Belgian GP “damage limitation” | “Not as confident” as last two years
"I mea✅n, I'm not as confident🎀 as I was the last two years around here in coming back to the front."

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen has labelled the F1 Belgian Grand Prix as “damage 🙈limitation”, conceding he’s not as confident of winning as he was in the las🌸t two years.
While Verstappen dominated a wet qualifying session at Spa-Francorchamps, he will𓄧 start Sunday’s race from 11th on the💛 grid.
Verstappen won the 🙈last two races at Spa from outside the top five.
In 2022,💯 he went from 14th on the grid to take a comfortable victory.
A year lat꧙er, he started sixth and ultimately won ღby over 20 seconds.
T♑his year is expected to be different with the McLarens posing a significant threat in dry conditions.
Speaking after qualifying at Spa, where 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:wuqian0821.com are in the paddock, Verstappen said: “Survive lap one and just go from there. I mean, we also have a bit of a different tyre strate♈gy to the other cars, so we have to wait and see how tha🀅t will evolve in the race.
“But, yeah, we'll see what we can do. I mean, I'm not as confident as I was the last🌞 two years around here in coming back to the front. I still see it more as a damage limitatio🦋n race.
“That's💃 how it is. But at least today was the best pꦅossible we could do in terms of the starting position for tomorrow.”

Red Bull opted to run with more downforce in qualifying, unlike🌠 McLaren, which 🍬aided their performance in wet conditions.
As☂ a result, they will be slower on the straights b🍰ut likely look after their tyres better.
Verstappen is hopeful that Red Bull have made the correct choice with their reaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚr wing.
“I felt a bit more confident and comfortable on th🌠e FP1 wing,” he added. “So I hope that tꦰhat is also going to be the case tomorrow. Tomorrow is a bit warmer as well, so naturally probably a bit more sliding.
“I just hope, yeah, that it's better for me. But when you look at the McLaren, for example, they run a very skinny wing. Seems to work for them, but it didn't really work🎃 for me yesterday. So yeah, bit of a different strategy also there. And I guess we'll find out tomorrow how it will w🐼ork out. I mean, I have to pass cars.
“The DRS effect is quite big around here, but at the end of the day, I think it's more important just t𓃲o be good𒐪 on tyres around here. Because if you're good on tyres, you can pass people.”
