Verstappen suffered from the brakes
F1 Sprint winner Verstappen starts from pole at today's British GP ahead of Hamilton, Bottas and Leclerc. The Dutchman finished satisfied with the sensations in a short but intense race: “It was a good start because the car weighs less, has less fuel, and is faster, it is more awake. There I enjoyed. It was important to get off to a good start and have an uneventful first lap and then adjust to your own pace. ”
His brakes were literally on fire before he started on the grid: "I was worried, it was little fire but it was starting to increase and I kept looking in the mirrors, begging the cars behind to hurry up and we could get out fast. I wasn't sure how my brakes would respond to turn three, but luckily there was no damage. I was watching people take photos from the stands when my brakes were on fire, I guess they took good photos home. " The World Championship leader, now with 33 points over Hamilton, expects a "very tight" race this Sunday, as the Mercedes is now "faster" than Red Bull on the straights.
Hamilton: "We are not going to overtake you"Hamilton had pole position, but found himself chasing Max again, as in previous tests, and the joy in his garage dissipated. "I think they have a lot of rhythm and it didn't seem like I had to push too hard, while we were working hard. The race will be tough, I can try to stay close and put pressure on them, but we are not going to overtake them because they are too fast."
