Schooror ready to attack in Melbourne after a positive qualification result

Richard Verzor was happy to have fourth place in Melbourne after a “chaotic” meeting in Melbourne, with the MP Motorsport driver in its sights on a big weekend in both races.

The Dutchman was in the mixture during the 30-minute shootout of the pole position, but said that he had to struggle with traffic, which affected his ability to produce tire temperature on his out rounds.

In his last attempt of the day, however, Verschoor completed a 1: 29,650 to take fourth place and end three tenths of the fastest driver at the session, Gabriele Minì, who has received a three-place network for both races since.

With Jak Crawford, who qualified as third, Verschoor has second place in the game race on Sunday on Sunday. But before that he reflected his Friday in Albert Park.

“Quite positive,” said Verschoor and looked back on qualifying. “I am quite satisfied with the result when you consider that it is in terms of qualification. I had a lot to fight because we were the queue in the back, so I had cold tires that started my lap.

“I really struggled to do sector well, I think I was three tenths in Sector One. Turn 1 was mainly the problem, so it is definitely a lot of time to find a normal warming up there. Nevertheless, quite satisfied with P4, a decent way to start the season. “

In view of the difficult qualifications that turned out, Verzor admits that a higher qualification result could have been possible if it had followed a normal running plan.

With a view to the races, he is confident that you have enough between him and his MP team to fight for victory on Sunday.

“In view of the problems I had, I am satisfied with P4, but we still want more,” he said. “I know I'm stronger in races. I think we have a pretty different tire connection, the medium and the super softs are still there, but they have a little different behavior that we hear.

“The races will be interesting to see how they go out and whether we have a lot of conclusion. So it will definitely be interesting during the race tomorrow. I think I start P6 in the sprint, so I need a good start and it will be an exciting race. “

In his attitude to the weekend, Verschoor said: “I will definitely do it. I know it is early and I know that the long term is only about long -term, but when you start driving carefully, it usually goes wrong.

“So, I'll just do it and we'll see where we end. I am also confident about the team that we usually have a very good racing car. So now it's up to me. “
