Verstappen’s Grind Ahead of British GP Sprint | F1 News

Max Verstappen starts third at the British GP sprint, but admits he’s not feeling confident challenging Hamilton and Antonelli—both just too fast right now. He’s three tenths off the pace, which he calls decent, but knows it’s a grind. While happy with his car’s performance despite straight-line speed limits, he believes Leclerc and Russell can keep pace with their teammates. Energy management is key—his data shows he used more on straights, less in corners, a delicate balance. Teammate Hadjar, who was right with him lap after lap, dropped to eighth after losing time in one corner, blaming a poor start out of it. Verstappen’s focus now: tweaking the car and energy strategy post-sprint to claw back speed, especially in corners.
