Max Verstappen “not comfortable” with “incredibly unpredictable” Red Bull in Baku
Max Verstappen reflects on another difficult F1 qualifying session at the Azerbaijan Grand Priꩲx.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen described his Red Bull F1 car as “incredibly unpredictable” as he was out-qualified by Red ꦬBull teammate Sergio Perez for the firs🐷t time in 2024.
🔯Verstappen could only qualify sixth for Red Bull in Azerbaijan, two places behind 🐷his teammate.
The Dutchman com꧑plained about the handling of his RB20 throughout qualifying.
The good news for Verstappen is that his main title rival, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, was knocked out in Q1.
Reflecting on qualifying in Azerbaijan, where are present in the paddock, Verstappen said: “As soon as I went out in Q1, the first lap, I just felt the car took a step back, we made some changes. The car became incredibly unpredict༒able, diffic🗹ult. Just because of the changes that we made.
“You’re a bit disappointed with that as you always try to optimise things and make it better. Unfortunately, I think we tipped it ove🌄r the edge. A shame that happe𒐪ned into qualifying.
“My first run in Q3, I lost it into t𝐆he last corner, otherwise you’re fighting for P2, P3. You still have a run, you can still i෴mprove the lap time. I just didn’t have the feeling in the car. I never felt comfortable as the car was difficult. If you don’t feel comfortable because the car was difficult, so when you’re not comfortable, you can’t attack corners, you’re a bit under in it.”
Verstappen wasn’t as strong on his criticism of his car though as at Monza, he descr🌞ibed it as a “monster”.
When asked if the RB20 is still a “monster”, he said: “No, no, no. We did improve the car but now with the setup we tried to perfect it, make a few things better but unfortunat𝔉ely it went the other way.
“I think the balance disconnect [has♑ improved]. Naturally it’s to do with the track of course.
“We’re st🔯ill working on fine-tuning that from now on. Trying to get the balance disconnect more together.”
Verstappen leads Norris by 62 points in t♚he drivers’ championship with eight rounds remaining.
