Max Verstappen says Red Bull's engine deficit relative to Ferrari and Mercedes leaves him unsure whether pole position is a realistic target for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The tight and twisty nature of the Budapest circuit was expected to suit Red Bull going into this weekend and it showed in Friday practice with Daniel Ricciardo topping the morning session and Verstappen ending FP2 just 0.074s behind Sebastian Vettel.
Despite performing well in Friday practice, Verstappen is unsure whether pole position will be within reach due to the advantage Ferrari and Mercedes have in the opening part of the lap, which is predominantly straights.
