“The car is more connected”

Max Verstappen (Red Bull, a pole position du GP du Qatar) : “It’s crazy! I didn’t expect that, well done to the team for giving me a car that is more connected. It allowed me to attack harder in qualifying and it gives a better result. We changed small things on the car but I never imagined that it would bring such a change. I hope it will last in the race tomorrow, but it is already more stable over one lap. It’s nice to be on pole, it’s been a long time. It will be a difficult race physically, but especially for the tires. You will have to be careful, especially with the left front which is deteriorating quickly. But with the settings we have on the car, it should be better. It’s very tight behind, we could see during the sprint that Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari are fast. We are now in this peloton and I hope we stay there. »
