In a clip shared by Al Jazeera on their social media platform, Instagram, Hungarian Canadian physician Dr. Gabor Maté, who is a Holocaust survivor, compared the conflict to that in Germany.

On her Instagram Story, Max Verstappen's girlfriend reshared the clip of Dr. Gabor Maté and wrote:

"Auschwitz and Gaza are not a one-to-one comparison, but human cruelty, lack of humanity, deliberate suffering imposed on people, the energy of it is the same.”

As per F1.com, the 27-year-old was slightly disappointed with his laps in Q3 and said:

"For some reason in Q3 I just didn’t have the same grip and feeling in the car. I was hoping that the set up that we had would help the driving feeling, but this wasn’t the case and the balance wasn’t where we wanted it to be.

"Fighting for the win will be tough as both McLarens will still be fast in the wet, so we don’t expect any miracles. We want to fight back for a podium, and a lot could happen in the race with the weather."

Max Verstappen changed rear wing levels after his Sprint win and switched a high downforce package to make the gains in the possible wet conditions in the main race.
