Verstappen sees 'a jungle' in F1 but still hopes for 'simple solutions'

Max Verstappen's blunt assessment: “It's a jungle” in Formula 1. Verstappen predicted his Red Bull probably couldn’t go any higher than fifth place this weekend in the Chinese Grand Prix — even if he starts much closer to the front in Sunday's race in Shanghai — because of the big gap between Mercedes and Ferrari and all the other teams. “Honestly, it’s such a jungle out there at the moment," Verstappen said Thursday at the driver news conferences in Shanghai.
