Verstappen: I didn't have the pace in the last laps.

Verstappen: I didn't have the pace in the last laps.

      Max Verstappen started second in the sprint of the Chinese Grand Prix, in the first laps he tried to put pressure on Lewis Hamilton, but in the middle of the race the tires on his car lost their effectiveness, and Max missed Oscar Piastri. The Red Bull Racing driver explained that the lack of speed of the car forces you to attack harder, and because of this, the tires wear out quickly.

      Max Verstappen (3rd): "If you look at the results in terms of points earned, then I have a positive result. I attacked with all my might to stay in the DRS zone, as I was attacked by Oscar myself. Unfortunately, I didn't have the pace for the last eight laps compared to the others, so I just tried to make it to the finish line.

      I definitely agree to the third place. It was difficult to control the tire wear, but everything is fine. We'll try to do better next time.

      It is necessary to study the collected data, since the car as a whole lacks pace. Because of this, you can attack harder, and the tires wear out faster."
