Max Verstappen cut short a question about where the Madring circuit ranks during Saturday's press conference. "We could talk about this forever...," the Dutchman summed it up.
After qualifying in second place behind Kimi Antonelli, he was asked about how difficult overtaking will be on Sunday at the Spanish Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver explained that he expects it to be quite a challenge. He began: "I think Monaco is probably still a bit more intense, but also this track takes quite a bit of effort just to try and put the lap together. And overtaking, yes, I think it's going to be very difficult.
"In practice, I spent two laps behind the Williams trying to painfully get past, but just really difficult, especially because already the degradation is quite big, and when you're behind, you start sliding more, and it just makes your life a bit tougher.
"So, yeah, the only thing you can do is trying to put pressure on the current front, trying to make them do a mistake or make them make them deg a bit more, and then I try to play with strategy. But, yeah, especially when you have a very similar pace, it's difficult to make a move."
