A special day without a doubt. There Formula One fly in France, Le Castellet, for the twelfth round of the season. The first of the second round, if we wanted to use football terms. For Verstappen there is the hard task of defending the leadership of the world from Ferrari by Charles Leclerc that after Austria, even in France it seemed to be more on the ball than the Dutchman.
Difficulty on the flying lap
In fact, there was no shortage of difficulties for Max Verstappen. The world champion, pilot of the Red Bull, did not well appreciate the news brought on his RB18. "I don't want to qualify third or fourth tomorrow” the Dutch said on a radio team, making everyone understand the difficulties he has on the dry ride with this car.
Verstappen: "It wasn't easy"
However, the race pace is very good. Verstappen knows it and in view of tomorrow, he has released the following statements:
"It was a little more difficult for us in the PL2, we haven't been able to find the balance we were hoping for, but we're also testing some things on the car too, we'll look into everything for tomorrow and try to be closer than today” – declared the world champion at the end of Friday's free practice. “The long run went a little better, but the tires are really difficult to evaluate in this heat. We would have needed a few more laps to better understand the situation. The track is completely different to Austria and is very demanding on tyres".
