F1 | Verstappen, doubts about the compounds: "Nobody thinks they prefer the hard, but it's different here"

“My lap wasn't perfect, so this shows that I have such a big gap compared to pole. For this reason I am not worried. From turn 1 to turn 10 it's flat out, there are corners, the engine works harder and this also represents a further deficit for us considering our condition", he commented Max Verstappen at the end of qualifications of the GP of Spain.

The Dutchman will start from fifth position, after finishing qualifying with a distance of more than 6 tenths from Lewis Hamilton: “Honestly you have to guess, because at the moment I still can't say which is the best choice between the two yellow and red tyres. And it's strange to have to think about this, because normally no one thinks about doing qualifying with the harder tire than the other. But on this track it's different: it's about grip and that's important,” he continued to the microphones sky sports f1.

The race pace of the Red Bull? “I think we have a good car for the race, but it will depend on how well we can follow those who start in front of us in the race. The weather could also change something, because it should rain so let's wait and see what will happen,” explained Verstappen.
