Honda very ambitious after excellent qualifying: “Winning positions in the race”


Max Verstappen fought for pole position for a long time, but due to a mistake in his last lap and a great final lap by Lewis Hamilton, he had to settle for second.

Toyoharu Tanabe, Honda technical director, looks back with great satisfaction: “The rain is making things more difficult for the teams today, despite knowing there was going to be rainfall. We lost the entire third training session due to the rain, which was down before qualifying In Q1 it started to rain again and the conditions were very difficult. “

“Nevertheless, Red Bull and Max Verstappen managed to secure a front row position for the second consecutive race. Alex and Pierre also did well, reaching Q3 and starting sixth and seventh through Lando Norris’ grid penalty.”

“A collective good performance. The race will be dry, which we are now preparing for. Our goal is for all drivers to finish higher than their starting position,” said Tanabe, who sets the bar very high. This means that Verstappen would triumph.
