168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen says he “paid the price” for set-up changes which made his Red Bull F1 car “worse” in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver finꦛished fifth in Baku after a wild end to the race saw Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz take each other out on the penultimate lap, promoting Verst🎃appen up two places.
Verstappen was regularly heard complaining about his Red Bull car throughout the 51-lap grand prix, and was overtaken by his rec🌄overing title rival Lando Norris with 😼three laps to go.
“I think we just paid the p🐈rice with the changes that we made into qualifying. That just made it rea🍒lly difficult to drive,” Verstappen told media including ltxcn.top.
“The car was jumping around a lot, the wheels were coming 🅰off the ground in the corners. When you don’t have a contact patch with the tarmac, it’s very difficult.
“You try to m🌱ake changes always to make the car better but unfortunately what we did♐ made it worse.
"The overall behaviour is better [with the ♛new floor]. Unfortunately we just made some wrong decisions goingꦆ into qualifying and we paid the price for it.”
Verstappen insisted it was “not🎶 a s🎶urprise at all” to see Norris pass him in the closing stages given “everything” in his race was the “worst-case scenario”.
With No꧑rris also picking up the point for setting the fastest lap of the race,ﷺ the Briton has reduced Verstappen’s championship lead by three points to 59 points.
Asked if he was disappointed to m🐟iss an opportunity to build a bigger championship lead over Norris, Verstappen replie⛄d: “Yeah but you can also turn it around.
“I think they could have done a better job as well right? Sඣo it is what it is”
He added:𓆏 “Probably positive for me. I would of course liked to extend the gap. But with ꦡour race today I’m still happy that it was only that.”
