A day to forget. Impossible to describe in other parole the qualifications of Red Bull. Milton Keynes stables disappointing a lot with the tenth position of Verstappen and the eleventh of Perez.
Bad day
Yes: Max Verstappen will start from tenth position tomorrow. The reason is very simple: during the last attempt of Q3, the decisive one, the Dutchman in a radio team stated"No power". A message that sent the Red Bull garage into great difficulty, which was then unable to repair the problem in time. News that clearly does not bode well for the Austrian team and does not rule out the possibility of a change of power units(which being the third would not lead to penalties for tomorrow).
Verstappen: "I don't understand what happened"
They will therefore be very important hours at home Red Bull, though Verstappen however, he seems to be very calm about it: "We still don't understand what happened, I haven't spoken to the team. The engine was running, everything was fine, but we need to check that the battery is working properly, as it was not releasing any power. I think – said the Dutchman – that everything will go well in the race, but starting from tenth position is not ideal".
“The car was much better today than in yesterday's free practice, and this track doesn't suit our car very much. The comeback will be tough, but anything is possible, let's remain optimistic. Overtaking will be difficult, but over many weekends we have seen that many things can happen. We'll have to keep calm and concentrate, we'll try to make the right decisions so as not to lose too many points. The goal for tomorrow: always the same, to win“.
