Verstappen worried about Saudi Arabian GP, 'how are the tyres going to hold up'

He said, "I hope a bit better than Bahrain. I mean, a few more high-speed corners, different tarmac. I hope that we can be a bit more competitive and maybe a bit more in the middle between the two races, potentially."

It's clear that Red Bull is currently struggling with their tyres. They seem to wear down faster than the other top teams (like McLaren). Pirelli have opted to bring a softer tyre to Jeddah this year.

To that, Verstappen said, "In general, here it’s always been a bit like a one-stop race. And I think there’s always a bit more going on when you try and have maybe a two-stop or whatever. But let’s see first how the tyres are going to hold up. It’s going to be quite warm as well to drive."
