Max Verstappen has thrown down the gauntlet ahead of tomorrow’s Belgian Grand Prix by claiming he is on the best strategy for the race and can challenge for victory.

The Red Bull driver starts second on the grid, behind Nico Rosberg, after a stunning lap which beat Ferrari pair Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel.

And the Dutchman will be the only driver in the top five to start on super-soft tyres, and he is adamant he has the best plan for the race as he seeks his second win of his career.

"To start on the super-soft and see where we end up after a few laps. We have a few strategies. I decided with the team to run the super-softs [in Q2],” he said.

"We think it's the best strategy to go into tomorrow, and we'll see how it pays off."

Verstappen’s team-mate Daniel Ricciardo will start fifth after a disappointing effort.
