168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen admits he “deserves” to only be fourth on the grid for the F1 Chin🦂ese Grand Prix✃ sprint race after a difficult qualifying.

The r♏eigning world champion uncharacteristically made errors on two consecutive laps in SQ3 before he improved to only go fourth-quickest in🌱 a dramatic and wet qualifying in Shanghai.

Verstappen found it difficu♔lt to keep his Red Bull on ඣtrack in the low grip conditions, which he likened to “driving on ice”.

"It was incredibly slippery, I struggl๊ed🐈 a lot to get the temperature into the tyres so that is why it is very difficult to keep the car on track," the three-time world champion said.

"It never really switc🎶hed on for me so it was like driving on ice. That is why I think we deserve to be where we are after qualifying.

"Because it was not rea💎lly working ♋for me in the wet, even though in the dry I think we look quite good. So, of course, I am quite happy with that.”

Verstappen had been unbeaten in qualifying so far this year but Sky Sports F1’s Karun Chandhok described the session as🍌 not being the Dutchman’s“fin🦹est hour”.

“He has been unbeaten in qualifying sessions unt🍌il today,” C🤡handhok said.

“He was tentative with the car, unable to get any🍸 grip, sliding on the top surface. It got better as the session unfolded but it’s not his fines💮t hour.

“But in a race situation you can never discount him🐟. You just know he’ll be in amongst it.”

And Verstꦏappen conceded he is not best-placed for Saturday’s sprint ra🔜ce due to being on the inside of the grid.

"It is not ideal to start on the inside here, it is a lot lower grip on the left compared to the right with this painted stuff on the t♑armac," he explaine𝄹d. "We have to try and have the best start possible.

"Then it is going to be quite a long stint on one set of tyres in the sprint but that makes it quite interest🍸ing.”
