168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen admits he “deserves” to only be fourth on the grid for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix sprint racဣe after a difficult qualifying.

The reigning world champion uncharacteristically made errors on two consecutive laps in SQ3 b♛efore he improved to only go fourth-quickest in a dramatic and wet qualifying in Shanghai.

Verstappen found it difficult to keep his Red Bull on t🔯rack in the low grip conditions, which he likened to “driving on ice”.

"It was incredibly slip💯pery, I struggled a lot to get the temperature into the tyres so that is why it is very difficult to keep the car on track," the three-time world champion said.

"It never really switched on for me so it was like driving on ice. That is why I think we 🐈deserve to be where we are after qualifying.

"Because it was not really working for me🍒 in the we🌜t, even though in the dry I think we look quite good. So, of course, I am quite happy with that.”

Verstappen had been unbeaten in qu꧅alifying so far this year but Sky Spor⛦ts F1’s Karun Chandhok described the session as not being the Dutchman’s“finest hour”.

“He has been unbeaten in qualifying 🅰sessions until today,” Chandhok said.

“He was tentative with the car,ꦜ unable to get any grip, sliding on the top surface. It got better as the session unfolded but it🌊’s not his finest hour.

“But in a race situation you can never di𒉰scount him. You just know he’ll be in amongst it.”

And V🔜erstappen conceded he is not best-placed f🔯or Saturday’s sprint race due to being on the inside of the grid.

"It is not ideal to start on the inside here, it is a lot lower 🐼grip on the left compared to the right with this painted stuff on the tarmac," he explained. "We have to try and have the best start possib♏le.

"Then it is going to be quite a long stint on one set of ꧑tyres in the sprint but that makes it quite interesting.”
