MAX VERSTAPPEN failed to fail until the end of the Australian Grand Prix on smooth tires, still in second place.
The rain was late, so two major MCLAREN drivers slipped on the track in the final category, and Oscar Piatri almost stopped the rap on the lawn. Lando Norris was able to join quickly and enter the pit, but VERSTAPPEN led two laps in a smooth place and stopped and fell from MCLAREN.
VERSTAPPEN said, “We were in the media (tires), and you didn’t know how it would be solved, but I thought it was a fairly wise phone with 15, 16 or 20 laps when a safety vehicle came out. “Then it started to rain. I saw them leaving in front of me and keeping it clean, and when I saw Oscar’s joining again, I thought it was ‘Well, staying’ because it was only those three corners. The rest was still dry.
“Basically, the first two categories could survive in the final sector when it was okay. I think the rap I did is okay. I thought it would work if it didn’t rain. You should also consider that even if they catch me in the Inter, if it doesn’t rain anymore, you have to take a box again for the slick. So it was okay.
“I thought, ‘Yes, we’ll do another rap, but unfortunately the first sector was still fine in that lab, but in the second part, it began to rain too much and we had to have a box.
“But it would not have been a problem. If I used the box with Lando, it would be P2. If you put the following rap in the box, it will be p2. And I was a box that I made a box, I was P2. So we tried something else -it would have worked. In some ways, it was not effective, but we didn’t lose any position. ”
After baking the intermediate body, VestAppen pushed Norris into the flag after another late safety vehicle, but he never thought it could move and said that MCLAREN was still paying attention to the performance of the performance of the early race.
“I think it’s better than the team behind us. But if you look at the first odor, we’re quite out of it. As soon as the tire began to overheat, we had no chance. MCLAREN just took off.
“So we still have a lot to fight for victory. But we are the second time we are here. Basically, one place is better than we did. And 18 more points than I did in this race last year. ”
