Verstappen: "We certainly have a chance if we have a good start"

Max Verstappen has beaten Valtteri Bottas in qualifying and will start from the front-row. Only Lewis Hamilton starts ahead of the Dutchman. He expects to get a chance to overtake Hamilton in turn two with a good slipstream.

"We were struggling a bit to find the right balance with the car on this track, it's quite slippery around here. Even this morning I was not entirely happy but through qualifying we were really working on trying to nail the balance and in Q3 the final run especially was not bad," the Red Bull Racing driver says after qualifying.

"To be second on the grid I didn't expect that, so very pleased for that. If we can have a decent start the tow effect is very big around here, so if we can get a good start who knows what is going to happen into Turn Two," Verstappen concludes.
