Windsor sees improvement at Red Bull: "Verstappen has a lot of grip there"

Lewis Hamilton starts the Tuscan Grand Prix from pole position after the Brit set a fantastic lap on Saturday. According to Peter Windsor, Mugello is one of the first circuits where you can really see which cars are strong and which teams still have a lot of problems with the car.
"I'd like to see Mugello on the calendar in the coming years", Windsor begins at his Youtube channel. There are an enormous number of technical bends in Mugello and that also gives you a good chance of seeing which car has a good balance. Windsor says the pole lap of Lewis shows that Mercedes have an enormously strong balance. "Lewis can really do something special on this circuit which almost nobody else can, except Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen."
Red Bull have a lot of grip
"Verstappen himself had a very good time and Alex Albon also did well with a fourth-place to start. He is still half a second behind, but to be fourth in Mugello is certainly not bad and I'm sure he will be very happy with that". Windsor sees that Verstappen and Hamilton feel good on this circuit and he expects to see that again in the race.
"There are a number of fast corners in Mugello where you can really see if a team has the right balance. It was really great to see Max through those corners. You could see that the Red Bull had a lot of grip there," concluded Windsor.
