F1 News: Max Verstappen expects another ‘tough’ weekend for Red Bull at Canadian F1 GP.
Red Bull struggles to reachfaster than Ferrari and McLaren last time out in Monaco. Verstappen finished sixth in the region, making it his worst result since the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
A recurring theme for Red Bull this year has been their struggles on road courses, particularly those that are bumpy or require significant use of the road surface. While the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has been improved, good roadside handling has always been a key factor in a good performance car.
“We have to wait and see, I think the new surface could also have some surprises in store for us. But it probably wasn’t our strongest weekend because of that either. But maybe a little bit better than [Monaco]”, said Max Verstappen
“Any track that’s bumpy or has kerbs, or you have to go over a lot of kerbs, so street circuits can be a bit tricky. But hopefully by then we’ll have some understanding of what’s going on.”
Red Bull have won the last two Canadian Grands Prix. In 2022, Verstappen held off Carlos Sainz for victory, while a year later he held off Fernando Alonso’s charge.
Team boss Christian Horner believes the changes to the track surface could change things in unexpected ways. “It’s a track we’ve done well on before. They’re popping up all over the circuit. So let’s see,” added Horner.
