Verustapane “not very convinced” to keep Piastry behind in F1 Saudi GP

Max Verustapane says that he is “not very confident” by defeating McLaren’s Oscar Piastry in Jeddah on Sunday. World Champion Red Bull’s reign Pole claimed by only 0.010s After McClarance, all weekends were seen rapidly, Piastry included them in the front line. Other McLaren of Lando Noris starts from 10th, when Britain crashed on its first Q3 lap.

Compared to previous weekend disastrous Bahrain Grand Prix, Red Bull has found a better set-up direction on its RB21 for Jeddah’s high-speed swops. The smooth Termac of the Saudi circuit has also portrayed a separate picture.

But McLaren still saw a better package with his better rear tire management, making Verustapen to her possibilities of converting the pole into a 65th career victory.

“So far, (I) are not very confident, to be honest,” said Vastapane. “My long runs were not especially better than Oscars or Lando. I am going to give it everything that I have, of course. Does it mean that I have enough? I don’t know.

“The car certainly took a step forward compared to the tests that were definitely on Friday, so I hope that our tire life will also help. I am going to know it.”

Interestingly, the main concern of Vastapane is how the red bull will be able to keep the medium under control. He did not run a hard compound, which Pirelli believes is the best race tire.

“I don’t think it would be enough to be super competitor, especially on the medium,” he explained. “I don’t know about hard, I have not touched it. It just shows that when it becomes a little hot, such as FP3, that’s where we are actually decreasing. In the race, in the race, you get stable with a high temperature, and this is where most of the teams are normally struggling.”

Piastry kept her possibilities of gaining the third win of the campaign and hopes that it would be easier to find ahead of Suzuka’s Japanese Grand Prix, where both McClances were stuck behind the race, despite the McLerances faster.

Australians said, “I think we’ve got good speed. Red Bull and Max definitely look more competitive than last week.” “Suzuka is not a completely different layout anywhere with very high -speed corners, so it makes me at least understanding that they are a bit more competitive, and we will see if he translates into the race tomorrow.

“I believe what we have got. There are many DRS zones around here, which is a good difference for Suzuka. So, let’s see if we can make some progress.”
