Pale performance
Max Verstappen dissatisfied: “Driving like on ice”
Max Verstappen has had to settle for fifth and 17th place in the two Las Vegas practice sessions so far. The lack of grip is a particular problem for the three-time world champion.
"The track is incredibly slippery, it's like driving on ice. I'm struggling to get the tires to work, especially on a fast lap. That's why the gap to the top is disproportionately large," analyzed Verstappen after the first two sessions in the "City of Sin".
Although he was able to control the car better in endurance runs, Red Bull still had to make a significant step forward in the third practice session.
"Don't have the fastest car"
At the beginning of November, Verstappen was able to win a world championship match ball in Brazil. Nonetheless, the 27-year-old is adamant: "We haven't had the right speed on a dry track in recent races. It's not as if all the problems have been solved just because we won a race in the rain in Brazil. That has given me a good starting position in the championship, but we don't have the fastest car."
Verstappen won the premiere at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit last year, and we will find out whether the Red Bull driver can repeat his success this year on Sunday from 7 a.m. - you can follow the action live with the sportkrone.at ticker.
