Max Verstappen thinks a different approach to his final Q3 out-lap in qualifying for F1's AzerbaijanGP may have cost him as he ceded pole to Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. Here's what he said ⬇️
It's the first time this season that Red Bull has failed to grab pole, with Ferrari having the edge on the world champions through Baku's tight corners."It's always tough around here to really put the whole lap together," he said."I think also the second run we tried something different on the out-lap, which maybe was not ideal for the lap time at the end.
"But nevertheless, we're P2 we know that we have a very good race car. So, all in all, it's not bad, but you always want to start ahead, but we'll have to pass one car."Verstappen's team-mate Perez followed in third, three tenths behind Leclerc, after an error in Turn 3 on his final lap cost him at least a tenth.
