When the seventh will be on the grate from the point of view of the Red Bull’s home Grand Prix Austria Formula 1 Max Verstappen, who lost almost a second on Landa Norris.
In addition to McLaren, Ferrari and George Russell pilots, Verstappen defeated Liam Lawson of Racing Bulls, although the difference between them was only three thousandths of a second.
For Verstappen, the seventh place is to balance the worst qualifying result from Bahrain. Since 2021, the Dutch has always started on Red Bull Ring from the position of Position.
Like some other pilots, Verstappen had to give up their last measured attempt after they were yellow flag due to the spinned Pierre Gasly in the third sector of Red Bull Ring.
“Until yellow flags it could have been potentially tight, but the pole position was still kilometers away. So it is not so painful in the end. The third training was not so bad, but it was all gone in the qualification. There was no turn to feel good with the car.
“I don’t look at the overall ranking, I just want to do the best on the weekend. Tomorrow we can compete at least Ferrari or Mercedes. But I’m not sure, because because of the balance we had in the qualification, we won’t be good tomorrow, but we will analyze everything.”
Cunoda did not advance from Q1
This year the qualification for the second pilot of Red Bull Júki Cunod ended after 18 minutes of the first part.
The Japanese took eighteenth place in the Austrian qualification.
“I feel bad because the speed was good over the weekend and today it was just about putting it together. It is therefore frustrating that the qualification did not turn out as expected,” Cunod quotes Grandprix.com.
“I am already tired that it is not possible as we would like. We have to put it together, but there was too much difference between the first and second attempts. I was quite bothering with balance, compared to the first round in the second.”
