  • Max Verstappen waspada menyambut F1 GP Arab Saudi pada 17-19 Maret 2023.
  • Banyaknya trek lurus menjadi tantangan besar bari Max Verstappen dan Red Bull Racing.
  • Ferrari menjadi rival berat bagi Max Verstappen di Arab Saudi.

SKOR.id - Max Verstappen menyebut bahwa Formula 1 (F1) GP Arab Saudi pada 17-19 Maret 2023 bukan favorit bagi Red Bull Racing.

Red Bull Racing menguasai seri pembuka F1 2023, GP Bahrain, dengan finis pertama dan kedua di Sirkuit Sakhir.

Duo Max Verstappen dan Sergio Perez mampu finis di depan para pembalap lain termasuk dari Ferrari dan Mercedes sebagai rival berat musim lalu.

Kemenangan di Bahrain membuat Verstappen yang untuk sementara memuncaki klasemen F1 2023 menduduki urutan teratas pembalap favorit juara.

Akan tetapi, Verstappen justru berpendapat bahwa Sirkuit Jeddah Corniche yang baru saja direnovasi akan menjadi tantangan besar bagi Red Bull Racing.

Banyaknya trek lurus membuat Red Bull merasa bahwa persaingan di Arab Saudi akan jauh lebih sengit daripada Bahrain.

"Saudi adalah lintasan yang cukup berbeda daripada kali ini (Bahrain). Ada banyak trek lurus, tikungan cepat, dan degradasi yang lebih sedikit," kata Verstappen dilansir dari Motorsport.com.

"Saya merasa bahwa di sini (Bahrain) kami cukup bagus di deg. Jadi, saya rasa dalam hal kecepatan, para pembalap akan sangat sengit di Jeddah."

Juara dunia 2021 dan 2022 tersebut berpendapat bahwa Sirkuit Jeddah yang baru selesai renovasi akan menghadirkan tantangan baru bagi mereka.

Ferrari yang selama ini menguasai trek lurus kemungkinan akan menjadi rival terbesar Verstappen dalam mencuri podium di Arab Saudi.

"Jeddah akan sedikit berbeda lagi (dibandingkan 2022)," ucap pembalap Belanda itu menambahkan.

"Mobil kami cukup kuat dalam kecepatan tinggi tetapi Ferrari cukup kuat di lintasan lurus yang mana Jeddah sangatlah bagus."

Meskipun demikian, Verstappen tetap optimistis akan peluang Red Bull Racing bersaing di Sirkuit Jeddah minggu depan.

"Waktu yang akan menjelaskan. Sulit untuk dijelaskan. Kami baru benar-benar balapan di Bahrain sehingga masih harus menunggu besok bagaimana (di Arab Saudi)," jelasnya.

"Tentunya kami akan berjuang untuk mendapatkan performa sebaik mungkin (di Jeddah). Kemudian kita semua akan menyaksikannya ketika latihan di Saudi."
