The Sprint Race is a short race, 100 km, and it lasts about 25/30 minutes, so the drivers can “go flat” without worrying about the tires or stopping in the pits.
“A nice race, but tomorrow will be different”, anticipated the Red Bull driver who had a bad start, but then recovered ground and ended up winning the classification with a system that was adopted last season and will be repeated in Austria and Brazil .
“The game was not good and I don’t know why it happened. The machine was skidding too much, but I was able to stay calm and managed to overtake Charles (Leclerc)” on the penultimate of the 21 laps of the track, summed up the Dutchman.
“I know that tomorrow will be another story, but today with this tire compound things went well. I’m happy because I had a clean race,” Verstappen completed, winner in Saudi Arabia after leaving in Bahrain, a situation that was repeated in Australia.
In Sakhir and in Melbourne the one who sang victory was Leclerc, who with his second place in Jeda and the lap record in the three competitions played, added 71 points to date that keep him at the top of the championship.
Now there are 78, for the seven he conquered in a “Sprint Race” in which the Ferrari driver had an excellent start, but would later be overtaken by the world champion.
“I hope that tomorrow will be different,” predicted Leclerc, affected by the entry of the safety car after a touch between the Chinese Guanyu Zhou, of Alfa Romeo, and the Frenchman Pierre Gasly, of Alpha Tauri.
“The support from the public every time we race in Italy is incredible. Hopefully we can give you a joy tomorrow,” added the Monegasque, referring to the “red tide” that filled the stands of the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit.
