F1 | Red Bull, unstoppable Max Verstappen who reveals: "I'm not entirely happy"

Max Verstappen is insatiable and leaves no escape: in a Red Bull Ring full of orange fans he wins his third consecutive pole position, the seventh of his career. A golden moment for Red Bull, who had not achieved this objective in qualifying since 2013. The Dutchman only deceived his rival Lewis Hamilton yesterday, in FP2, leaving him with the leadership of the standings, but already in the last free practice Max he put himself back in command. In qualifying there really isn't much for anyone, Max seems unbeatable, if it weren't for an incredible Lando Norris who literally flies in Q3, conquering the front row at forty-eight thousandths of a distance. Perhaps this is the reason for Verstappen's complaints on the radio, that he didn't like being sent onto the track first. Despite everything, the Dutchman will start on medium tires tomorrow, with teammate Perez defending his back on the second row, where Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes will also be in fourth position.

"Q1 and Q2 were good and risk-free, but I wasn't completely happy in Q3 because my laps weren't at their best. I'm obviously happy to be on pole again, especially at the Red Bull Ring, and to have achieved a third consecutive pole is great for the team. But I can't be totally happy because I always want to be perfect and analyze what went well and what didn't. Maybe I grew up like this, but I think that only in this way can you improve yourself” revealed Max Verstappen after taking pole.

"Now I'll focus on tomorrow, because we have a good car and obviously Checo is in third position, it's great for the team, maybe we'll be able to push together and get a second place in points – continues the Dutchman – Lando also did a fantastic lap and they were always close this weekend, but I didn't expect them to be our rivals tomorrow. I'm very happy with the whole package, the car and engine together have worked really well in the last few races, so we're ready for tomorrow, but it definitely won't be easy with the softer tires compared to last weekend, it will be difficult to manage them in the race, we still have strong competition. It's equally wonderful to see my orange army back in the stands. It's been a really long time and they are happy to be here cheering for us, it's beautiful to see".
