Advantage Mercedes? W15 pace leads to rare admission from Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen is not often a man content with P2 on the grid, but after seeing Mercedes' pace in Canada, he's making an exception.

Max Verstappen set an identical qualifying time to George Russell in Canada, but will start behind him.

Verstappen had struggled with his Red Bull through practice, but while his team-mate, Sergio Perez, went out in Q1, Verstappen placed his car on the front row for the Canadian Grand Prix.“I think what was mentioned before probably Q3 was the weakest of the sessions for Mercedes, so being on the exact same lap time is great in hindsight.

“I think we did get a decent balance in qualifying. I was quite happy with it, but we need to be able to just have cleaner weekends without issues, and I think that will help a bit as well.”
