Verstappen: I can't imagine what you can expect.

      In the qualifying final in Bahrain, Max Verstappen complained about the brakes, turned out to be only seventh in the protocol and has no idea what to expect in the race.…

      Max Verstappen (7th): "It was a difficult weekend, we couldn't get the brakes working properly, and there was no grip on the track. We've changed the settings several times, but we still haven't found a clear direction for further work. All this suggests that we have a set of problems.

      I still have an extra set of Hard tires, but I can't imagine how it will behave in the race. It's going to be hot tomorrow, too, and the hard tires have low mechanical grip, so the car will slip. I can't imagine how that would work. But at least I have the opportunity, and we'll see what happens.

      I will try to earn as many points as possible. I do this every weekend, so tomorrow it won't make any difference, but I have no idea where we'll end up in terms of race pace. We'll be in the middle of a tight group, where there's always a reason to worry."

      Yuki Tsunoda (10th): "I'm glad I made it to the finals. Of course, I always want more, but considering how things were going in training, and this is only my second stage for Red Bull Racing, I'm ready to accept today's result.

      It is very difficult to get into the narrow operating range of the machine. I'm trying to keep an eye on this, which I've already been doing during training. I'm not going to rush it, I'm going to progress step by step. I need to adjust myself a little more and adjust the car to go faster. But I'm confident, not really, but I'm confident."
