Max Verstappen demanding “a bit more” to stay ahead of Ferrari in Monaco
Af꧒ter a difficult first practice session, Verstappen took to the top of the timesheets in FP2.
He pipped 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc by𝔉 just 0.065s late on🃏 to set the pace in second practice.
Ferrari are expected to be𝓀 a serious cont🎃ender for pole position given their fast tyre warm-up and low-speed corner performance.
Speaking after practice in Monaco, Verstappen was quick to poi𒈔nt out how impressive the Ferrari w𒀰as in terms of “general ride of the car.”
“FP1 was quite tricky. I was not rea𒁃lly happy with the ride of the car on the kerbs and the bumps,” he said. “I think FP2 was already a lot better - the car was a lot more competitive but compared to Ferrari especially I think we♒’re still a bit lacking on the general ride of the car, how it handles the kerbs, the bumps, the drops in camber.
“It’s still something we need to work on for tomorrow because we ♎could see they are very, very close and knowing that once you go onto the limit in qualifying we need a bit more to stay a𓆉head.”
Verstappen has never taken pole position in Mon🎃aco during his F1 career.
He qualified second for the 2021 Monaco Grand ﷺPrix - which he won - after Leclerc was unable to start the race from pole.
Vဣerstappen believes there’s still “scope” to improve the RB19’𓆏s performance.
“I think there’s still a bit of a scope to go in the same direction even more. Hopefully that will be even better for tඣomorrow.&nb𓄧sp;
“The car was driveable at least and that also makes you able to put that lap, to push a bit more, to get clo🧸ser to the guardrails around here. Overall, not a good start but a good end.”
