Max Verstappen after the qualifying session told the media, “Q1 and Q2 everything felt normal… My first run in Q3 was terrible. I had no grip, honesty I don’t understand because there was not really anything weird going on… At least I know the car has very good potential because of Checo putting it on Pole.”

As per Max Verstappen, the Q1 and Q2 sessions were normal for him as the car felt super fast but it was only in the Q3 session where Max struggled for grip and was not able to get a decent lap in during the allotted time in the Q3 session.

The young Dutchman is starting the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in P4 with Sergio on pole and the two pacey Ferrari’s ahead of him.

Given that Ferrari is ahead in the constructor’s championship at the moment the Red Bull team has got a lot of work to do in Saudi Arabia and it is going to be up to Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen to keep the Ferrari duo at bay which is not going to be an easy thing to do.

Max Verstappen has got all the necessary skills that are required to go past the other cars on the track and it would be Verstappen’s job to get ahead of both the Ferrari’s as quickly as possible.
