The straightforward nature of Max Verstappen’s Austin sprint win suggests he’ll have little trouble coming through from sixth in the grand prix. But that wasn’t the only thing the sprint revealed
Max Verstappen is not a fan of the sprint format in Formula 1. He believes it takes away the excitement and predictability of the race. The sprint provided a clear comparison of the cars’ performance on race day, with the Red Bull showing a significant advantage. The chosen setup of the Red Bull, with a tyre-protecting wing choice, makes it the fastest on a race stint. However, Verstappen’s starting position, three places behind Hamilton, and the need to pass other drivers make it uncertain if he can win the race.
