Verstappen reacts to Marko’s statements after qualifying in Hungary
Max Verstappen only reached the eighth place in the Hungarian GP qualifying. Helmut Marko commented afterwards that it went better on used tires than on new ones. Verstappen responded to this statement in front of GPblog and others.
After qualifying P8 behind impressive rookie Gabriel Bortoleto, Verstappen reacted: ''Those are moments when you try to come out positive, they also told me that in the pits. You don't drive the qualifying rounds on used tires, do you? That doesn't mean much to me.''
