After qualifying, former Formula 1 driver Karun Chandhok praised Max Verstappen. The former rider of the Jordan racing team, among others, thought that the Dutchman left an indelible memory, especially during the first part of the qualifying session: “In the first session of qualifying, he drove around the track immediately after the red flag situation. He knew he was only going to get one fast lap and he took that chance and went straight to the fastest time.
“Being a former Formula 1 driver, I cannot describe how beautiful that moment was. That was really not normal! In those circumstances you are normally looking for grip first, but Max immediately drove everyone into a pile”, said Chandhok admiringly opposite Sky Sports UK.
“Max is not only a great driver, I would rather describe him as a driver with unprecedented talent”, Chandhok continues to praise Verstappen. “Max has a lot of self-confidence, he has a lot more self-confidence than anyone else, even than other drivers I’ve ever seen on the F1 paddock. That’s why he dares to accelerate in difficult circumstances, he is absolutely not afraid. as a former driver I can tell you that you are immediately impressed by it, he simply cannot be described. “
Johnny Herbert also said in his role as analyst that he enjoyed Verstappen, but at the same time accused Red Bull of having made a tactical mistake. “What a disappointment it must be for Red Bull to miss pole position here, given the form that Verstappen is in this weekend. They will be really disappointed with the choices made and they will have to have discussions within the team how the future. “
