Max: “It was a lot of fun!”
That is how the interview opens of the post qualifying of the 2024 Bahrain GP at lion Super Max Verstappen, the three-time world champion is at his side 33rd career pole. Number that matches both yours previous race number, both at pole positions scored by Jim Clark.
Max, pole position! Let's start 2024 the way you ended 2023. It was a pretty disappointing session for you, at least that's how it seemed. But you're pretty close.
"It was very funny, to be honest: there was a lot of grip on the track, but with the wind in the last few days it was quite complicated to put the lap together. And it was the same in qualifying with Q2, then naturally a little faster with the track progressively improving, but pulling it all out in Q3 was a little more difficult. Obviously I'm very happy to be on pole. Honestly, it was a little unexpected, however, fortunately, the car in qualification is gone di più as we expected and are been more happy."
Max's pole after qualifying for the Bahrain GP: what will the first race of 2024 be like?
The free trials, – continues the interview with Max on qualifying for the Bahrain GP – in fact, they didn't see much of you in front. We saw one Red Bull very different this year: we were thinking of something spectacular, but it didn't show on the flying lap up until qualifying. Maybe there will be a little more to fight for?
"Well, there was also a lot to use in the car to find the perfect balance. With the wind, it wasn't possible today, but luckily we have taken the right direction and we managed to push a little bit more and then we took a further step in qualifying. "
You're very used to starting from the front by now: another race tomorrow to try to win and immediately take the championship lead at the start of the season. The race pace seemed good: do you feel comfortable or do you feel worried about someone else's threats?
"Well, we'll be close in the race too... We seem to be in good shape for the race, which is the most important thing, but we'll see tomorrow. I have faith that we can do one strong race."
