Yuki Tsunoda admitted it was “incredible” how168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Max Verstappen could “cope” with hꦡis setup choices after trying them on the Red Bull simulator.

Verstappen returned to winning ways at Suzuka with a faﷺultless display from pole ⛄position.

On the other side of the garage, it was a difficultඣ first race at Red Bull for Tsunoda, who failed to make it into Q3 and finished outside the top 10ಞ in the grand prix.

After a solid start to the weekend in prꦦactice, Tsunoda deviated from🐬 Verstappen’s setup.

Tsunoda opted for more dow🔴nforce, running a bigger rear wing on the ca💯r, which ultimately didn’t work out.

Speaking ahead of the Bahrain Grand Prix, Tsunoda revealed that he had tried Verstappen’s full set༒up and “definitely felt the trickiness”

“In terms of how I got on in the car, it’s still OK, it’s too early stages to say I’m able to drive comfortably oℱr not. But I think I’m able to cope with the car balance that most drivers struggle with so far,” Tsunoda said as quoted by .

“Actually, we went to൲ Max’s side rather than my setup, which I thought would be good. Surprisin🌳gly, I’m able to drive quite well so I’m happy with it so far. The direction we tried in the simulator, which was a bit different [from] China to focus on calming down the rear, and the setup we concluded in the end I felt was good.

“Also, Max f✃elt pretty positive in the simulator, so in the end, also Max started with that direction which I quite liked as well already at Suzuka. I went for a  more extꦛreme side in that direction, and it just didn’t work out.

“It’s not like the setup that Max used in China; China was a bit more specific because it was more front-end ꦐlimitation. But Max’s setup helps [the rear] and I think that setup probably in the simulator I feel definitely the trickiness. It’s incredible how he’s able to cope with that kind of setup.”

Verstappen demands Red Bull improvements

Despite not having the ⭕quickest car in F1 amid McLaren’s impressive start to the year, Verstappen sits just one point behind Lando Norris at the top of the drivers’ cha𝓀mpionship.

Verstappen extracted the maximum from the RB21ꦺ in search of his fifth consecutive F1 title.

Despite the close gap in the standings, Verstappen is cautious about his title chances without sign﷽ificant improvements to the car.

“No, we definitely need to improve to be able to fight for a title,” Verstappen sai♛d.

“It’s great that we are one point behind, but I think it’s more that we just maximised ou𒀰r weekends quite well so far. To really fight🐬 for a title, we need to find more performance.”
