Red Bull expects no problem for Max Verstappen towards qualifying start | Motorsport

sport">Verstappen came to a stop at the cunning corner 15 in the wall, could no longer get his car into reverse and caused a red flag with his cap after half an hour. His RB16B did not appear to be badly damaged, although the front did receive a minor blow. The qualification for the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan is 2 p.m. Dutch time. The Red Bull Racing mechanics have proven in the past that they can repair a car quickly. Immediately after the training, hard work was done to repair the damage to the front right.

sport">Verstappen’s old teammate Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri) was surprisingly the fastest in the third practice. At the end of the session he drove to a time of 1.42,251 and was more than three tenths of a second faster than Verstappen’s current companion Sergio Pérez.

sport">Just like Friday, Mercedes again had a hard time. Lewis Hamilton was still third on the softest tire, almost half a second behind Gasly. The Brit was partly due to a great ‘tow’ (slipstream). Valtteri Bottas did not get further than the thirteenth time.
