Max Verstappen: Qualifying is of key importance

      Red Bull Racing is looking forward to the start of the Imola weekend, the 400th race in the team's history.…

      Max Verstappen: "It's good that there was a break before the series of three Grands Prix in a row. I returned to the base this week and worked on the simulator. The team is doing everything possible, hoping for progress.

      Imola has a legendary old–school track, very technical - I like to race here. It's difficult to overtake, qualifying this weekend is crucial.

      Our team's 400th race will be held in Imola this weekend. We have something to be proud of, we have broken many records, and we can look back on what we have achieved with a sense of satisfaction, aiming for new successes in the future."

      Yuki Tsunoda: "I'm looking forward to returning to Europe. I have long considered Italy my second home, and with our crazy schedule during the season, I appreciate all the time I manage to spend here.

      I hope everyone will enjoy delicious pizza and pasta this week, and we will achieve a good result. After Miami, we knew that we needed a more balanced car, and we prepared some new items for it. I hope we will see positive developments.

      I feel confident in the car, which is important when starting a team, and I know what needs to be done. Besides, this is the 400th race of the team, a special weekend for everyone, and I'm looking forward to it."
