The Briton rejoices, the Dutchman eats his hands and prepares the lunge in the Sprint Race
The first historic “pole” for the Sprint Qualifying could not fail to go to the man of the Formula One records, Lewis Hamilton. Only 75 thousandths of a joke for Verstappen, excellently detached from the British driver who rejoices together with his audience: “We lacked the public, I’m grateful to see the fans and arriving at Silverstone with the public gives me a different energy”.
“On the eve of qualifying I was hoping that all this could lead me to the first position and it did. In free practice I did my job, I did the simulator, leaving no stone unturned. I saw the crowd and I remembered the first pole of 2007. , without the audience here I could not have done anything “the words of the Black King.
Front row also for Verstappen, who cannot hide his disappointment: “We have to look at ourselves, at one point I had a lot of understeer and I couldn’t drive well. I don’t think the car was imperfect from the point of view of the set-up, but it went like it’s gone. Tomorrow we have a new opportunity, it’s a strange feeling because you push hard in qualifying but in the end it’s not needed for pole “.
Work as a wingman and second row, with third place on the starting grid, for Valtteri Bottas: “It was a good qualifying because Red Bull is very fast and we got a pole as a team. There is the Sprint tomorrow and everything is still up for grabs, we will see what I can do and I hope to have a good race pace. I played as a team, I think it’s normal in order to get the best possible result “.
