Friday morning begins at 11:00 the first free practice of the Grand Prix of Great Britain. Max Verstappen was sitting in the press conference Thursday afternoon, which precedes the British Formula One race.

Rain is not at Silverstone this weekend, so it's about the power engine and support. Of course, the support is not lacking, but in terms of power, the Renault engine is still too short compared to the competition.

When asked if Verstappen at Silverstone can do anything, he answers: "The problem is that some curves are now full of gas and have actually become a double straight piece, which is painful and unfortunate for us, I do not expect that we will be super competitive, but we will be more or less there. "

For the first time in history, a DRS zone has been built in a bend. The third zone DRS is in the first corner. If the DRS can be used in this trick is still the question. This is a very fast turn and because the collapse of the DRS wing causes a loss of support, the question remains whether the DRS can be used there.

"I will definitely try, we can see, do not think you'll win a lot after this bend, you'll probably use a little more rear tires, it will also depend on your wing settings," replies Dutch driver Red Bull

This week, we fantasized that Max Verstappen could compete for the world title, but that does not think the Limburger. "We do not have the package to fight on each circuit for the victory, for example at Monza it will be difficult. "

" I do not think we can come back, of course, there are jobs where we will be very competitive we can certainly fight to win, but this is not will not be on all tracks and to return, you should win almost every weekend. "
