Verstappen: 'At pure speed we should be able to become third'.

Speaking to the cameras of Ziggo Sport, Verstappen explained that he is hopeful for next weekend. "Third in qualifying should succeed anyway, that sounds a lot more positive than last week. At pure speed we should be able to finish third."

"Balance is good"

He was also very enthusiastic about the Mugello circuit. "Yes, it is a very nice circuit. It doesn't need to be adapted from me. I also drove here with my father. It's nice that we can participate right at the front on a new circuit. That indicates that the car is well positioned and that the balance is good."

"I don't like slow corners in a Formula 1 car, that's just a bit boring. That is why it is so much fun to drive here. I certainly hope that we will come back here again in the future," concluded the Limburger.
