Max makes a big impression in the F1, but a relative weakness still looks his speed in the qualifications. Team-mate Ricciardo also up again this year with 3-1. Max is, however, not pressure.
Max criticize on his qualifications you might consider them as mierenneuken. The points are divided into the races and doing Max almost always nice work. Nevertheless, it is kwalificatiesnelheid important, especially if you have lots of titles within the want to drag.
The easiest titles you get when you team the best car of the field has built. In that case you usually just have the pole to grab, and the race is already almost in the bag. For most teams is true that the rider with the best position on the track is also the best strategy for the race. Rarely gives a team the rider in second position, for example, the possibility for an ‘undercut’ to go over his team-mate. The victory get is therefore relatively simple. The only racecraft you need is your teammate a little afblokken.
Although Max has a plethora of racecraft, seems to be his qualifying speed is still a bit behind. Qualifying and racing are still a little other disciplines. Some riders are both good, some are better racers than qualifiers, and vice versa. Jarno Trulli was in the past, for example, a real kwalificatiebeest, but this did not always translate to the races. For Kimi were times the opposite is true.
In Max’s first two seasons, he lost two times the kwalificatieduel. Additionally, we must note that as we have four races Max in the previous year teammate was Sainz of the equation, he is the Spaniard with the smallest possible margin, has defeated during the time that the two teammates were. Compared to Ricciardo were the figures less equivalent: it was 11-6 in favor of the Ozzie. Okay, Max had to get used to the new car and came as the year progressed closer to, but still.
Also this year, Ricciardo once again with 3-1. But Max gives GPUpdate to know that he is not worried about the quality of-pace:
“Or my races in proportion are better than my qualifications? No, I just think that this season is still not completely seated in the qualifications. You know the story of what happened in Bahrain, then you’re ready before you can begin.”
Bad luck has indeed played a role in both Red Bull drivers in qualifying up to now. In Australia depended Ricciardo are RB13 in the wall. In China experienced Max technical problems. Max reminds us there like that in Bahrain Mass in the way reed, soit. In Sochi, we saw again the image that we so often saw: Max faster than Ricciardo in the sessions in the direction of Q3, Ricciardo is faster than Max in Q3.
How will the kwalificatieduel a point of attention will continue for all the spectators, but also for the important figures of the pitmuur. Profit or loss you can just a seat at Ferrari produce. In the last free practice was Max this morning again faster than Ricciardo. Let’s see if he has that this afternoon might convert to a glorious victory against the Ozzie as it tightens.
