Breaking News F1 2024: Max Verstappen is 2nd place today in Zamba

Max foren it's second place today in zamber but what a show you put on there was a huge cheer from the crowd when you provisionally took pole just wasn't quite to be today yeah I think uh the whole qualifying you know we just lacked a bit of pace um I tried the best I could I'm still very happy of course to be on on the front row uh it's very tricky out there with the win I mean um you know you have these gust of wind coming in so every single lap just feels different so you can't really go off a reference as well um yeah I'm happy with second I think after yesterday as well this this is a good result how tricky was it with the balance we saw your lap at the end fighting the car in the chicane 11 and 12 some under steer some over steer piecing a up together just looked very hard yeah it's how it is at the moment um not the easiest to drive but uh the rest of the lot was quite solid I think yeah only 112 was a bit uh a bit difficult um but yeah we'll we'll see hopefully the car is okay tomorrow in in the race well no one's ever beaten you at this circuit three wins on the bounce here you at least start from the front row can you win oh we'll give it a good go but of course when you are more than three T behind in qualifying I I think we have to be realistic you know I I just try to have a good race tomorrow all right well you're on the front row at least well done Max good [Applause] luck Oscar not quite the front row in the end you were so close all the way through qualifying just slit back to third what went wrong on the uh the final lap uh yeah just didn't do a good enough job really um I think the first half lap was pretty solid and then the second half just uh wasn't wasn't quite what I needed so um yeah clearly the the car has been very quick this weekend and um yeah a little bit disappointing to to not be a bit higher up but um we still got a a good race car underneath us and we can get some some really good points and hopefully some trophies tomorrow so um yeah we give a r crack you got upgrades on the car obviously with the weather that we've had this weekend it's been very difficult to get too many great reads I imagine from it but they seem to be working well yeah I think they're all doing what they expect uh what we expect them to do and um yeah anything you can put on the car especially when it's as tight as it is it's uh always a always a good thing so um yeah not the easiest conditions to see what it's like but as long as it makes the car quicker then I'm happy and the car looked good on the long run as well you thinking that should give you a chance to bring you into play for for a victory tomorrow perhaps yeah I think it's it's definitely not out of the question um yeah the the pace did look good in the long run and um yeah we've been we've been pretty quick the last few weekends so hopefully we can have a good day tomorrow um get a a good start and try and make up uh a couple of spots if I can but um yeah some some good things on off for tomorrow all right Oscar well done hope you can get in the fight cheers [Applause] Lando what a performance that was we're back from the summer break and you're back with a bang pole by three and a half T today incredible thank you uh yeah uh an amazing day nice to be back and uh and start with a poll uh it was a nice lap honestly the qualifying was always pretty smooth and um put in some good laps especially the one at the end which is always the most important so um great job by the team and and happy with today and everyone's talking about these these weather conditions the wind the rain you seem to be happy across the board every lap that you're doing is right at the front rain or shine wind or no wind uh it's it's harder than it looks I think um I mean everyone's complaining of it cuz it it is tricky it's not easy out there and every every lap you have to kind of know what to expect and know how much more you can push where the limits are uh but that's our job in the end of the day so it's it's not easy but I felt comfortable out there the car was feeling amazing we've got some uh some upgrades on the car for first time in a while and um everything's working very well so uh a big thanks for the team too and looking forward to tomorrow it's a shorter run to the first Corner than Barcelona and Budapest can you hang on know why you're saying that but uh no I'm I'm I'm excited for it tomorrow I'm sure it's going to be tough um Max has been quick all weekend I know we got him today but he's he's still second and he's going to be putting up a good fight especially at his home race so um looking forward to it we're looking forward to it too well done Lando thank you
