168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen made his frustrations clear after battling to P6 in sprint qualifying at the F1 Qatar Grand P♔rix.

The Red Bull driver has already wrapped up this season’s Formula 1 d🍸rivers’ championship in spite of his below-par machinery in the latter half of the campaign.

A♎lthough Red Bull have largely got on top of their problems, Verstappen was no match for McLaren’s Lando Norris on Friday in Qatar.

Pole-sitter Norris, his teammate Oscar Piastri, Merced🎃es’ George Russell and both Ferrari drivers were quiꦺcker than Verstappen on Friday.

“No pace, to be honest,” he comp🦩lained afterwards.

🦄“Too slow. I just don’t have the balance to attack the entry to mid-corner.

“The car is just a bit… off!

“So, it mak🐷es it really difficult around here. The very high speed is okay but the rest is not okay.

“This makes it difficult to pus𓄧h. P6 is where we should be… mayb♏e P7, actually.

“It is, of course, not where you want to be.

“The sprint will be tough🐎 to fight the cars ar🦋ound me, with the balance that I have in my car.”

In P7 was Verstapꦆpen’s old rival Lewis Hamilton. The Mercedes driver deserved to pinch an extra place on the starting grid for the sprint r🐼ace in Qatar, Verstappen admitted.

On Saturday, the spri🍃nt race precedes qualifying for the grꦅand prix.

The sprint format makes selecting a set-up for S💫unday’s grand prix even more challenging.

Verstappen is alrea🐈dy wary💟 of the sessions after the sprint race, and what his RB20 might be incapable of.

“For the other qualifying, let’s see if we can improve a bit,🔯💝” he said.

“But I don’t 🙈expect it to sudde💛nly turn upside-down and work.

“It’s not been amazing…”

Altღhough his fourth drivers’ title in a row is already in the bag, Red Bull came to Qatar with hope of overthrowing McLaren in the constructors’ standings.

That ambition took a major setba💧ck o𝓀n Friday in sprint qualifying.
