SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Max Verstappen does not expect to repeat his wet-weather heroics from Brazil last year, when he starts what is predicted to be a rain-hit Chinese Formula One Grand Prix from near the back of the grid on Sunday. The Red Bull teenager was 19th-fastest of 20 cars in qualifying at the Shanghai circuit, after nursing engine problems that saw him knocked out in the early part of the session. He will, however, start at least two places higher after drivers in front of him were handed grid penalties. “Last year in Brazil I think we had one of the best cars in terms of downforce,” said the 19-year-old. "It will take some time,” said Verstappen when asked when Red Bull might be competitive.
