    Today was really unlucky. Yellow flag, restart with tyres losing their temperature and only 3:11 time left on q1. Even verstappen was “struggling”.

      Albon crossed the line directly behind Perez and was 0.5 seconds faster, you can’t blame the conditions.

        Look at verstappens result at q1 and you know what I meant. It must have been something with red bulls cars. If he was given one or two more laps, I’m pretty sure his time on his hot lap would qualify him for q2.

          Verstappen said in the post race interview that he was glad his car is so fast so he didn’t have to push in q1 and q2. He said he was only pushing for a good time in q3
