2.06.2025 Max Ferstappen about the 2nd position: I do not think that we had to get on the first row of the starting grill, so I am very pleased with the result

Ferstappen was satisfied with the result of a sprint qualification in China. Pilot Red Bull said that the second place on the starting grille of the upcoming sprint was a pleasant surprise for him, because he did not expect that he would be able to get ahead of rivals from McLaren.
I am very pleased. In practice, our lag was quite large, so I am very glad that I ended up on the front row of the starting grill.
Circle turned out to be very good. It is always very difficult to switch to software from a medium without preparation without training. At the same time, in the end, we lost the time to only 0, 018 seconds. I do not think that we had to get on the first row at all, so yes, I am very pleased with the result.
I would not say that the balance of the car was very bad. We were just too slow - although even good for it, it gives the team additional motivation. That you need to continue to pass your circles as best as possible, squeeze the maximum of the available capabilities. And you need to do this even in conditions when you do not have enough speed.
Rivalry with McLaren? They were very fast up to the last attempt, so it will not be easy to hold them behind in the sprint. I hope the race will turn out to be funny and we will be able to chase, it would be great, ”said Fersstappen.
Hamilton again wins the kwala and is ready to drive at least 50 years. How does he hold the superform?
