Max Verstappen was joined by an old foe in the quali top three. F1
Max Verstappen has admitted he was surprised to see both Mercedes cars alongside him in the top three, something that used to be a regular occurrence.
But times have changed with Mercedes’ form falling at the same rate Red Bull’s has risen meaning that while Max Verstappen has kept up his end of the bargain Lewis Hamilton and now George Russell have not done.That could change come race day in Melbourne though with the Mercedes duo securing P2 and P3 in qualifying behind only Verstappen.
“I’m a little bit surprised,” he said of the presence of the Silver Arrows drivers in the post-quali press conference. “Maybe they are also a little bit surprised. But I guess it’s a good thing. It’s all about just having the tyres in the right window and I guess they could show that as well.”
