The differing feelings experienced by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton with their contrasting cars has been analysed.

Hamilton has still not won an F1 grand prix since 2021, while Verstappen is already on course for a fourth consecutive championship after cruising to victory in the first two races of this♛ year.

But the feeling inspired by their respective machines has a huge p🍃art to play, Liam Lawson has explained.

The Red Bull reserve driver - who shone in a brief stint with AlphaTauri last year - has seen the RB20 up close and personal,𒀰 and knows how♏ it can aid the team’s star driver.

Lawson said about working within Red Bull o the : “Obviously it is a great opportunity. If I could choose any team to be wit♕h, it’d be this one.

“Because I have direct access to all of the inf💙ormation and how he does it. And how the team does it.

“The main thing - conf𒐪idence level. Max’s confidence level with that car has got to be higher than anybody’s.

“If you look at Lewis, for example, who is obviously not 1🅰00% happy - and hasn’t b🥀een - with that car.

✤“You’ve got to imagine that every time he approaches the start of a qualifying lap - or any lap, really - he’s not going to be 100% confident with what he’s got beneath him, and know what it’s going to do.

“Whereas, with Max is at right now with the Reဣd Bull? The car is in such a good window and he’s so comfortable with 🌠it.

“The best way to look at it is; when you look at his qualifyingꦕ la🌌p from Jeddah, he doesn’t miss an apex. And he gets so close to the wall in places.

“Turn 4, I’m pretty su🐓re that he touched it on the inside. It is extremely difficult to do, to be that pr🐭ecise.

“It’s not just Turn 4. It’sꦑ Turn 10, Turn 22 as well, everywhere. He is 𒅌so precise and it’s because he is so confident with the car.

“It’s those things that really make up lap time.”

Can anyone catch Verstappen this year? Even his teammate Sergio Perez has racked up two consecutive P2 f♓inishes despite t𝓰he pressure on his own position.

S🐻ky Sports’ T🐽ed Kravitz does not expect Mercedes, McLaren or Ferrari to seriously challenge Verstappen.

“I don♎’t really hold out any optimism that people wiไll close up,” Kravitz said.

“The Red🥂 Bull develop like everybody else. They have their development plans.

“It is only a laun🦩ch car, a Race 1 car, at the mom𒉰ent.

“I’m expecting them t♑o stretch t⭕heir legs in Australia. Suzuka? Max could win by that legendary 25 seconds or more.”
