'Lack of rear grip' cost Verstappen shot at Bahrain pole

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen believes that a lack of rear grip in Saturday's qualifying session had thwarted his chances of challenging for pole position. Verstappen managed to cut the gap to Lewis Hamilton in each of the three rounds on Saturday evening, but he still finished over four tenths off pole position pace at the end of Q3. "My lap was pretty good," he said of his final effort which clocked in at 1:27.678s, his best run of the day. "It was quite a decent qualifying. "[But I was] just lacking a bit of rear grip in the lower-speed corners to my liking," he admitted. Read also: Hamilton on pole in Bahrain ahead of Bottas and Verstappen With Valtteri Bottas...
