Verstappen happy with RB18 despite problems: 'Great turnaround made'

Qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix ended in disappointment for Max Verstappen, who reported a lack of power in his final run. Despite this, he is happy with the feeling in the RB18, which is said to have improved considerably since Friday.

Verstappen regrets not being able to move up to the front of the grid, but felt much better in the car on Saturday. He is not too worried about the problem he encountered during qualifying. "I don't think it's a big problem, but it was something we couldn't solve on track," he explained to Sky Sports.

"It's very unfortunate because the turnaround yesterday was great," continued the Dutchman. "Also from the girls and boys in the factory. There was a lot of analysis to understand what didn't work so well yesterday and that's a positive for today."

By now Red Bull Racing, therefore, understands what went wrong on Friday. "The car was much better today, at a track that doesn't really suit us," said Verstappen, who will have to start the race from P10.
