Max Verstappen's Chances at Saudi GP Hindered by Qualifying Issue.

GPS data from Saturday's running in Saudi reveals the breadth of Red Bull's capabilities, with the RB19 having the legs over its red-painted rival on the flowing streets. Verstappen's Q1-topping lap still had him near the top of the speed traps. The RB19 is compromised through the higher-speed, downforce-determined changes of direction but is then able to markedly stretch its legs on the backstraight to max out at 210mph. The set-up of the RB19 will be ideally suited to Verstappen's recovery mission, even if that optimisation is somewhat incidental.
