Max Verstappen out-qualified his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo for only the third time this season and says he thinks Red Bull can achieve a positive result in the race.
Verstappen will line up third on the grid behind the two Silver Arrows whose starts have proven to be a problem at various stages of the season.

"The whole weekend has been quite positive for me, " said Verstappen.
"We made some changes after Singapore so I could feel a bit more comfortable in the car. To be that close behind Nico in qualifying is very promising for the race tomorrow."
"It's all about attention to detail. You can't change the car a lot in qualifying, juts the front wing. You need to guess sometimes, and sometimes after FP3 you make some changes but if they don't work out you can't change anything.
"That is what mainly happened to me with Red Bull so far. You don't know the car yet to its full potential, so you just try to find out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
