"Simply put, I ran out of energy and had to quit," said Verstappen when he returned to the pits: "It wasn't exactly the same thing as in Spa, which of course is still not right. Nevertheless, I do not expect any problems at the race, as the error is related to the setting, which we only use for fast laps. "
Team boss, Christian Horner, was nonetheless in good spirits after qualifying as he was Alex Albon arrived in the sixth starting position: "As far as the engine is concerned, we are on the right track," said Horner, who hopes to further improve his form in the race itself: "I wish we were even more competitive in the race and I think we have a good car for the race itself."
Verstappen will be able to entertain spectators at the race with overtaking maneuvers as he breaks through from the background, much like he did Albon in Spa, but the question is what the Dutchman's range is.
"According to the results of the qualifications, we are all quite together, so it will be harder to overtake than where the differences are greater.
