During the structure of the Japanese Grand Prix, while Max Verstappen complained to the lack of trust in the RB21 McLaren, the domain tert package, while Lando Norris and Oscar Piestri took turns the turning blades at the top of the timing plates at the top. But when the qualification came to an end, it was Verstappen who took the pole position, on route to his first victory of the season.
With the same scenario that takes place in the days prior to the Bahrain Grand Prix -the McLaren -Duo again traded time on top of the rankings, while Verstappen sounded that the RB21 was “too slow” -many wondered if the Red Bull director would take the pole position in the desert.
Instead, the Piastri will be at the front when the lights go out on Sunday at Bahrain International Circuit, while Verstappen remains in the fourth row after the qualification of the seventh on Saturday. Speaking with the media after the session, Verstappen described the weekend as “tough” for the race.
“Yes, it was difficult – the whole weekend, I think,” said Verstappen on Saturday.
“For what reason I am with the brakes, the feeling too, feeling the feeling of delay, so it’s the subject hat that we have to investigate,” Verstappen added. “And then a general grip, I think, drinks the round, [it was] Remove inconsistent, and then of course it makes it difficult to understand what you make out of the car from the car from the car, while for whatever reason we cannot let the tires work. “
Verstappen notes that Red Bull tried to find a fear with the set -up, but nothing that the team was trying to stay hanging.
“So we tried to learn, to be honest, with the set -up left, right, up and down! But unfortunately nothing really gave us a clear answer, so that is of course a bit of a shame,” said Verstappen.
Regarding his expectations for Sunday, the ruling chivers’ champion will notice that things will be ‘difficult’ and that the McLarens might be too far out of reach.
“[I’m] I’m not sure what to expect, to be honest, “Verstappen added.” In the past, High-Deg tracks have been good for us, but with the balance we had today, I think it will be wrong difficulties.
“But of course I am just looking forward – I try at least better sub -cars for us. Normally the McLarens I think will be too fast, but maybe the other Uones we can follow.”
Verstappen may feel that the McLarens are too far out of reach, but if someone can catch this in Bahrain on Sunday, it’s he.
