168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has suggested the dead-heat with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell𝔍 flattered Red Bull’s pace at the Canadian Grand Prix, admiജtting he thought the lap times Mercedes were setting before Q3 were impossible.

Rus🃏sell and Verstappen set identical times in qualifying, meaning it was the first dead-heat since the 1997 European Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver’s benchmark, set on worn tyres, remained at the top of the timesheets after Russell failed to improve 💎on his final e♒ffort despite putting on fresh rubber.

Reflecting on qualifyin💧g, Verstappen admitted when he saw Mercedes’ laps in Q2, he thought “there’s no way that I can do s🌺omething like that”.

“Yeah, I mean, in general, I think it wꦦasn't a bad qualifying,” he said. I think what was mentioned before, probably Q3, was the weakest of the sessions for Mercedes. So, you know, being on the exact same lap time,🧔 yeah, it's great, but in hindsight, I think when you look at their pure pace, I’ll take second.

“Because after Q2, I saw their lap times, I was like, ‘there is no way that I can do something like that’. Then, of course, there was a little bit of rain in between, like aไ few spits here and there. But, yeah, I mean... I think overall, just the weekend was again a bit messy from our side, just too many little issues.

“And then, yeah, from there onwards, we tried to, of course, find the best possible balance with the car. I think we did get a decent balance in qualifying. I was quite happy with it. But, yeah, we need to be able to just have cleaner we﷽ekends without issues. And I think that will help a bit as well.”

Red Bull have struggled in recent rounds with bumpy circuits and kerb-riding seemingly their main weaknes𒐪s.

Verstappen revealed that Red Bull are still struggling “with the same thing🌜s” in Canada.

“Well, we're still struggli❀ng with the same things, but of course, the track layout helps compared to Monaco, where Monaco has a lot more low-speed, so it's really important to have good ride, mechanical grip,” he added.

“Here, of course💞, there's more aero involved. Of course, there are a few places still where y🎃ou need to ride kerbs or you have bumpy places, but we know those limitations, so we need to just work on that. But that's why I think in general, to be P2 here is alright.”
