Max Verstappen “positively surprised” to land BahrainGP pole, as Red Bull warns its race pace will be even stronger 💪 Full story ⬇️
That turnaround left Verstappen “positively surprised” to have set the pace.
The Dutch racer said: “I was actually positively surprised being on pole after the struggles I had in practice. So that's positive and, normally, our race car is better. I think it's been a bit of a tough start to the weekend yesterday and today. “Not really finding my rhythm. But luckily, in qualifying, I think we managed to put the best pieces together.So naturally, I think you already start off better and more competitive.“So that's, of course, a great thing to see. I think again, throughout the year, you will see that everyone is increasing their performance again a lot.”The top seven cars were split by under 0.7s in Q3 while less than 1.2s spanned the entire field in Q1.
Perez, who was still not entirely happy with the RB19’s balance, reckoned he could not recall a tighter qualifying session. However, he warned rivals that Red Bull still had capacity to pull clear in the grand prix as a result of the team being much better prepared for the race and having compromised car set-up for qualifying.I believe certainly, you can always improve a tenth on your lap.
