The differing feelings experienced by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton with their contrasting cars has been analysed.

Hamilton has still not won an F1 grand prix since 2021, while Verstappen is already on course for a fourth𒁏 consecutive championship after cruising to victory in the first two races of this year.

But the feeling inspired by theirꩲ respective machines has a huge part to play, Liam Lawson has explained.

The Red𝕴 Bull reserve driver - who shone in a brief stint with AlphaTauri last year - has seen the RB20 up close and personal, and knows how it can aid the team’s star driver.

Lawson said about worki🎶ng w🔯ithin Red Bull o the : “Obviously it is a great opportunity. If I could choose any team to be with, it’d be this one.

“Because I h🤪ave direct access to all of the inf🍰ormation and how he does it. And how the team does it.

“Theꦅ main thing - confidence level. Max’s confidence level with that car has 𒅌got to be higher than anybody’s.

“If you look at Lewis, for example, who is obvi🔯ously not 100% happy - and hasn’t been - with that car.

“You’ve got to imagine that every time he approaches the start of a qualifying lap - or any lap, really - he’s no💜t going to be 100% confident with what he’s got beneath him, and know what it’s going to do.

“Whereas, with Max is at right now with the 🐼Red🙈 Bull? The car is in such a good window and he’s so comfortable with it.

“The best way to look at it is; when you look at his qualifꦛying lap from Jeddah, he doesn’t miss an apex. ♚And he gets so close to the wall in places.

“Turn 4,🉐 I’mꦐ pretty sure that he touched it on the inside. It is extremely difficult to do, to be that precise.

“It’s not just Turn 4. It’s Turn 10, Turn 22 as well, everywhere. He is so precis🌞e and it’s because he is so confident with the car.

“It’s those things that really make up lap time.”

Can anyone catch Verstappen this year? Even his teammate Sergio Perez has racked up two consecutive P2 finishes despite the pressure on ✱his own position.

Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz does not expect Mercedes, McLaren or Fer𝐆rari to seriously challenge Verstappen.

“I don’t really hold out any optimism that people will🔯 close up,”✤ Kravitz said.

“The Red Bull develop like everybody ꧟else. They have their develo🦩pment plans.

“It is only a launch car, a ✃Race 1 car, at the moment.

“I’m expecti📖ng them to stretch their legs in Australia. Suzuka? Max could win by that legendary 25 seconds or more.”
