F1, Australian GP: Max Verstappen is far from confident
The Dutchman è appeared in trouble in the first two free sessions
Used to dominating, already in the finale of last season Max Verstappen had started to struggle a lot with his Red Bull. After the first two free practice sessions in Melbourne, home of the Australian GP, the reigning World Champion è appeared in clear difficulty, although è it is too early to make judgments.
The person concerned does not seem very confident that the situation will improve ahead of qualifying and the race: "To be honest, we were not even so bad with the balance and I did not even have particular problems", his words at the end of Free Practice 2 reported by Sky Sport.
Max Verstappen added: "For some reason, we couldn’t find grip on the track and I struggled to get all four tires working especially in the first and third sectors. This means that, at the moment, we are not ready for the fight".
The Dutchman doesn't seem to have any tricks up his sleeve to show off: " however, nothing that I didn't already expect before I got here, so I am not surprised either positively or negatively by the pace we showed. We need to make sure we find a little bit’ more speed; but right now we are absolutely lacking something to be able to fight at the top". Surprised are the fans of Max Verstappen. To see him soì "detached" is not è a good sign although è better never bet against Max Verstappen.
