Max Verstappen: I'll do everything I can!

      Max Verstappen will start third in Qatar, and if the top three finish in the same order, he will lose his chances at the title. Before the start, Max was asked if he had a plan?

      Max Verstappen: "I'll do everything I can! I'll attack at the start, in the first corner. If I don't overtake Lando, he'll score more points. In the sprint I also tried to attack, but after a few laps a phase begins when the tyres wear out, and it becomes difficult to maintain a high pace.

      Overtaking in the sprint was impossible – the tyres were overheating. Besides, with all these high-speed corners and the high grip, getting into attacking range is very difficult. In the race the cars will have a lot more fuel in the tanks. We'll see. The start, of course, is important, but you never know how it will all play out. Other cars can also affect the result.

      In the sprint I had to cut the corner to have a chance to get past the McLaren, so it will be tough, but the race is long, anything can happen."
