Max Verstappen makes a late decision on the tires he will start on in the Turkish Grand Prix. The fact that Charles Leclerc considering starting the race on slicks, caused surprise to the Dutchman. Red Bull and Verstappen will postpone the choice for as long as possible due to the treacherous conditions at Istanbul Park.
“Today it will be very tricky again in terms of conditions. You have to be very alert and communicate well. There will be some clouds and maybe some rain. It will be very interesting and slippery. Slippery and wet”, Verstappen predicted in the warm-up show of the Formula 1 on YouTube.

Verstappen was told that Charles Leclerc was considering starting on slicks. That surprised the Dutch. “He is thinking of starting on slicks? Did he have a few gin and tonics on or?”, Verstappen joked about the verdict of the Ferraridriver. More than an hour before the race, Verstappen was unable to say on which tire he will start. In any case, the track is still wet, but it will remain dry for a while before the race. The Red Bull driver indicated that he would decide on which rubber to start just before the start.
“It will be very slippery on every tire. It will be tricky to go out on slicks now. It will not be easy to make the right decision”, said Verstappen.
