Do you think, after the changes in the regulations that we’ve had a few weeks ago, that it’s still the same and you’re closer in race pace than in qualifying pace ? Thanks.
- Max Verstappen: Well I guess we’ll only find out if we swap cars once, both drivers, and then we can compare, but I don’t know. I don’t think a lot has changed to be honest before the rule change and now, so no, that’s just a bit of, not a guess, but I think you can clearly see that it hasn’t brought us a lot closer or further away. Before the rule change…
- Lewis Hamilton: What's the swap for ? What do we need to swap for ?
- Max Verstappen: We swap cars. You go into mine, I go into yours and then we know the comparison.
- Lewis Hamilton: Of what ?
- Max Verstappen: Of the difference between the cars if they actually become faster in the race or not compared to qualifying. I don’t know. Maybe we can do like a private test day or something.
