SPIELBERG, Austria — Another qualifying session, another Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton front row.
Speaking about the gap to Verstappen, Hamilton added: “It was a difficult session for me.
“But then I got into qualifying and the car just didn’t feel as good as it did in final practice.
As the two drivers pointed out, most of Verstappen’s advantage over Mercedes came in sector one, which is made up of the pit straight, Turn 1 and the long hill up to Turn 3.
“It’s not a secret, there is a trend: they have the fastest package at the moment,” Wolff added.
“If we can align those stars then we can win the championship.
“We know that how the technical direction has evolved for 2021, we have been on the receiving side: fact,” he added.
