Verstappen: Red Bull wing set-up should be better for Monza F1 race
Max Verstappen narrowly missed out on pole position at the Italian Grand Prix by just 0.013 seconds to Carlos Sainz. Sainz’s pole position for Ferrari delighted the Italian fans and marked his first pole on the team’s home turf. Ferrari brought a special low-drag rear wing to Monza, while Red Bull made specific adjustments for the track to focus on strong race pace. Verstappen believes that while Ferrari excelled in one-lap pace, Red Bull’s race pace still appears superior based on fuel and tyre-adjusted data from Friday. Verstappen acknowledged that the race should be better for Red Bull, as demonstrated by the closely-matched sessions in Q1, Q2, and Q3. Despite facing challenges in finding the right trade-off between top speed and downforce, Verstappen was pleased with the performance of his car and remains confident for the race on Sunday.
