McLaren admit Max Verstappen "a threat" at Spa despite starting 11th
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is in pole position while the McLarens are fifth and sixth respectively.“I think he’s been exceptionally fast in dry conditions. He was very fast in wet conditions.
“We have to look at ourselves. We have to maximise the fact that we were competitive as well. We have a tyre strategy that we are happy with. We do have tyres. “We wanted to resist the temptation to prepare a car for wet, because we know that all forecast models at the moment are predicting a dry race,” Stella said after qualifying.
“I have to say that when I looked after qualifying at the GPS overlays with some of our direct competitors, like Red Bull and Mercedes, Ferrari, I thought we would have a bit more top speed advantage. They are not on a wet set-up. I think they were just decently competitive. “This is certainly true against Red Bull. I think when it comes to the qualifying session, when it comes to Ferrari, Mercedes I think there were a similar path with us.
