Verstappen: We need to try to solve the problems with the car.

      Max Verstappen finished fourth in the Qatar Grand Prix sprint, behind his title rivals — Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. After the sprint the Red Bull Racing driver spoke about the problems that prevented him from achieving a better result.

      Max Verstappen: "So far the weekend has been difficult. The start was good and in the first three laps I attacked more aggressively than the guys ahead, as I was trying to seize the opportunity, knowing it would be difficult to overtake later. That's how it went — as the tyres wore, all the problems that had been there before returned. That prevented me from closely following my rivals, so there was nothing left to do but run my own race. We need to work on this and try to solve the porpoising, the car's bouncing and the lack of turn-in in long corners. This still remains a serious problem."
