Di Resta about RB16 from Verstappen: "On that tyre the car looks stronger".

The RB16 of Max Verstappen comes into its own on the hard tyre, according to Sky Sports analyst and former Formula 1 driver Paul di Resta. On the soft tyre Red Bull is considerably less, just like all other teams.

Di Resta and analyst Karun Chandhok agree. "They are evaluating everything and should look carefully at the performance on the tire types," says Chandhok. Di Resta agrees with the thoughts of his colleague and is especially curious about turn two of the Hungaroring. "There you can see the difference in balance."

"On the soft tires, he can take the kerbs, and the RB16 loses balance." According to Di Resta this is not the case on the hard tire. "That makes the car look much stronger."
