Max Verstappen says conditions in Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying left drivers “scared”.
Max Verstappen expressed his discomfort with the wet conditions during the Las Vegas Grand Prix qualifying, finding it “a little bit too much.” Despite his mastery in wet weather driving, he settled for second place, missing pole to Lando Norris. Verstappen described the track as super slippery, feeling like driving on ice and not particularly enjoyable. Norris also admitted the conditions were tough, with wheel spin, easy tire lock-ups, and overall slipperiness making it a stressful session. Several drivers, like Alex Albon and Pierre Gasly, found the low grip conditions challenging and even questioned the safety of driving in such circumstances. However, some, like Fernando Alonso, found the extreme conditions unexpectedly fun, with Alonso commenting that it turned out to be more enjoyable than initially anticipated.
