168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has labelled the F1 Belgian Grand Prix as “damage limitation”, conceding he’s 🥃not as confident of winning as he was in the last two years.

While Verstappen dominated a wet qualifying session at Spa-Francorchamps, he will ♍start Sunday’s race from 11thꦺ on the grid.

Verstappen won the last two races at Spa from outsi꧑de the to🐼p five.

In🐬 2022, he went fr🌱om 14th on the grid to take a comfortable victory.

A year later, he s🌄tarted sixth and ultimately won by over 20 seconds.

This year is expected to be different with the McLarens posing a significant t💞hr✤eat in dry conditions.

Speaking after qualifying at Spa, where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:ltxcn.top are in the paddock, Verstappen s💎aid: “Survive lap one and just go from there. I mean, we also have a bit of a different tyre strategy to the other cars, so we have to wait and see how that will evolve in tﷺhe race.

“But, yeah, we'll seꦐe what we can do. I mean, I'm not as confident as I was the last two years around here in coming back to the front. I still see it more as a damage limitation race.

“That's how it is. But at least today was t🍌he best possible we could do in terms of the starting position for tomorrow.”

Red Bull opted to run with more do🐠wnforce in qualifying, unlike McLaren, which aided their performance in w🌳et conditions.

As a result, they will be slower on the stra❀ights but likely look after their tyres better.

Verstappen is hopeful that Red Bull have made the correct choice 𒆙with their rear wing.

“I felt a bit more confident▨ and comfortable on the FP1 wing,” he added. “So I hope that that is also going to be the𝔍 case tomorrow. Tomorrow is a bit warmer as well, so naturally probably a bit more sliding.

“I just hope, yeah, that it's better for me. But when you look at the McLaren🍷, for example, they run a very skinny wing. Seems to work for them, but it didn't really work for me yesterday. So yeah, bit of a different strategy also there. And I guess we'll find out tomorrow how it will work out. I mean, I have to pass cars.

“The DRS effect is quite big around here, but at the enℱd of the day, I think it's more important just to be good on tyres around here. Because if you're good on tyres, you can pass people.🍌”
