In the last four months in Formula 1, only Red Bull Racing wins. Max Verstappen said in Sao Paulo on Thursday that this weekend is only focused on winning…
Max Verstappen: “Interlagos is a great track. With a few twists, it may seem simple, but it’s not. All the corners are different, they have different terrain – it’s very difficult to get a perfect lap here. And incredibly emotional fans! There are several reasons why most riders like to come here.
I think we have a good chance of winning this race. We have always been competitive in Brazil and this year our car is fast on all tracks.
Sprint format? I don’t like this format. I don’t feel like a sprint is a race. Yes, we get a few points in the individual standings, but everyone understands that they can’t take the risk of retiring not to start last in the main race, where you earn points. There are no pit stops in the sprint, so you put on the right tire that is sure to last the entire distance.
In the sprint everyone tries to avoid risks, nobody wants to leave the race to start behind in Sunday’s race. In the sprint I didn’t see much overtaking. What I like about the sprint is only one practice on Friday and then immediately qualifying – it makes me rap myself together.
I know next season’s calendar has six rounds with a sprint on Saturday. I think we can discuss changing this format to make it more interesting, at least for me. But let’s see.
Boycott sky sports? We have closed this topic and now we are communicating normally. There’s nothing more to add to that.”
