维斯塔潘GT赛排位遇挫，正赛仅列第15
维斯塔潘在F1比赛间隙参加波尔蒂芒GT世界挑战赛，与队友卢勒姆和巴尼科特在排位赛中仅列第15位。练习赛中他曾引发事故但未受处罚，车队承认调校方向有误。
马克斯·维斯塔潘与队友克里斯·卢勒姆和本·巴尼科特将在波尔蒂芒GT世界挑战赛中仅从第15位发车，维斯塔潘是在F1比赛间隙参加这场比赛。
维斯塔潘重返GT赛场开局波折，在上午练习赛的第一圈因交通拥堵追尾了埃泽奎尔·佩雷斯·孔潘克的奥迪，导致其打转。
赛会干事查看了该事件但未采取行动，到第二节练习赛结束时，维斯塔潘车组已升至第四。
但他们在排位赛中挣扎，他们的梅赛德斯赛车明显比大多数赛车更低，在暮色中擦出大量火花，最终在61辆赛车的发车格上仅列第15。
虽然巴尼科特称第15名是“本可能更糟”的情况，但他承认由2 Seas Motorsport运营的维斯塔潘车队在调校上走错了方向。
“我们感觉一直缺少一点速度——我们在成绩榜上排名相当靠前，但我们中没有一个人特别满意，”他说。
“所以我们尝试了几项调整，显然效果不太理想——大量火花、直道上很多弹跳，所以我认为我们只是稍微没找准。”
这场三小时的比赛于当地时间周六下午5点开始。Dorian Boccalacci、Morris Schuring和Alessio Picariello驾驶的Boutsen VDS保时捷从杆位起步。

Max Verstappen and team-mate Chris Lulham and Ben Barnicoat will start only 15th for the GT World Challenge race at Portimao that Verstappen is contesting in his break between Formula 1 races.
Verstappen's return to the GT scene got off to an eventful start as he tapped Ezequiel Perez Companc's Audi into a spin in a traffic jam on his first lap in morning practice.
Stewards looked at the incident but took no action, and by the end of the second practice session the Verstappen crew was up to fourth.
But they struggled in qualifying, their Mercedes visibly running lower than most and kicking up abundant sparks in the twilight session as they managed only 15th on the 61-car grid.
While Barnicoat called 15th a "could be worse" situation, he admitted the 2 Seas Motorsport-run Verstappen team had taken a wrong turn with the set-up.
"We felt like we'd been missing a little bit of speed - we've been quite high up the timesheets but none of us were super happy," he said.
"So we tried a couple of things there and obviously it didn't quite work out - lots of sparking, a lot of bouncing in a straight line, so I think we just missed it a little bit."
The three-hour race starts at 5pm local time on Saturday. The Boutsen VDS Porsche of Dorian Boccalacci, Morris Schuring and Alessio Picariello starts from pole.
