Max Verstappen believes he will be able to hold position in the Australian Grand Prix tomorrow, after taking fifth place in qualifying.
The Dutchman looked immense as he finished behind both Mercedes and Ferrari drivers, ahead of Toro Rosso’s owners Red Bull.
Verstappen went backwards in the race last season, but he anticipates a stronger showing this year.
"Last year we were quite okay in qualifying, we dropped off a bit in the race - we had to do some more fuel saving and in terms of energy we were not as strong as the other competitor,” he said.
"But I think this year, the way that the engine is working, it's a bit easier for us. So normally it should be quite positive for us also in the race. I wouldn't say we will be worse in the race.
"From our long-run pace in Barcelona and also this morning, I think we have a good chance to maintain position."
The race starts at 5am GMT.
