SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Max Verstappen thinks Red Bull made the right decision to gamble on a single flying lap in the wet during Q3 at the Belgian Grand Prix, even though it meant they didn't have enough fuel to enjoy the best of the track conditions at the very end of the session.
Verstappen qualified seventh and teammate Daniel Ricciardo eighth as Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, both Force Indias and the Haas of Romain Grosjean benefitted from a drying track to set quicker times at the end of the session.
Verstappen and Ricciardo had to pit before the track improved as they only had enough fuel for one flying lap after switching to intermediates from slicks.
