Max -
"We were tow buddies out there," Verstappen grinned when asked by Motorsport.com/Autosport about the benefit Hulkenberg had given him.

"In Q2 I gave him a tow to Turn 17. Then he gave me a tow to Turn 2. I think I did arrive a bit too quick for my liking because I did miss Turn 2 a little bit, so I did gain and then I did lose a bit in 2.

"Overall, I think it did help me a little bit. But when you are struggling the whole weekend and then finally it's coming around, you have to look for these little advantages to try and stay ahead and it worked out beautifully."

"Max and I, we've been helping each other out this quali," Hulkenberg told Sky Sports F1 about repaying Verstappen.

"He helped me a few times in Q2 and I returned the favour here [in Q3]. So yeah, you need the support of colleagues sometimes."

Considering a tow was required and they had to take wing off, I think the race will be tricky

Let it go @Sieper. The car wasn't the best car as @Vanja stated as always. Marko said the car is still very nervous with less fuel.
Perez could not handle that but Max could. The McLaren car is faster and better.

That's not what Vanja stated...
.
Yes, he did!

The best car on pole, as expected. Even if there are any tyre deg issues tomorrow, Imola is not an overtaking track
Ahh yes… Classic =D>
The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

He set a 23.4 first sector on both laps. You pointed out in the press-conference that the extra speed from tow took him out of the rhythm for Tamburello on the second run. Discussions about the tow are "if my mother had balls" territory. He could conceivably have achieved the same result without it considering the S1 from the first run.

Regarding tomorrow, I agree that they hardly have the pace to win. Mclaren will be in imperious form once Norris settles into the groove. A podium result is good damage limitation. One couldn't expect Red Bull to win all races this year. In many championship seasons, individual drivers are only winning 9-10 races and simply being consistent in the rest.

What else to say after seeing my first post-q comment taken without context? :lol: Since I see I need to make things clear - yes, it was made before I was aware of the tow. My fans can go through my later posts and will find what I wrote at what time

And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Hulkenberg, 36, signed a multi year contract with Audi and will leave Haas after 2024.
