Max Verstappen is not concerned by his failure to out-qualify Daniel Ricciardo since joining Red Bull because his race form has been so strong.Ricciardo has been the master of qualifying this year, with a 9-0 record against his teammates in 2016. Verstappen replaced Daniil Kvyat for the fifth race of the season in Spain, which he won, and returned to the podium at the last race in Austria.Asked if it was difficult to adjust to being out-paced in qualifying, he replied: A little bit, but I learn a lot from it, and that is my approach to this season in general, just learn a lot to be ready for next year. And yes he is on top of that.I am definitely catching up, and the last two weekends have not shown what I am capable of in qualifying, so I am actually not too worried. And at the end you can do a great qualifying lap but it is all about the race where you score the points, and so far that is going really well. So I dont really have a lot to complain about. I am very happy at the moment.But it is getting there. And you should not forget I am driving next to someone who is really quick. So it is a bit different approach for me now, I have to up my game from where I was before in Toro Rosso because he is very quick.Asked if he prefers to focus on race set-up during the weekend, he said: Definitely, you are always trying to get the best possible car on Sunday because that is where you get the points. That is always the most important. But everybody more or less does that during the long runs; you try to get a good balance, and try to optimize everything for the race.Maybe a little [compromise] but not too much because you want to be quick over one lap to have a reasonable starting position. I started eighth and finished second, so there are still a lot of opportunities if you have a good car in the race you can overtake instead of struggling on the tires and just trying to hang on.The Dutch teenager pointed out that he is usually close enough to Ricciardo on the grid to not be too worried about his one-lap pace.He is on top of that. Of course maybe he has had some struggles in the race, but that is also where I enjoy it -- that is my part, the race. I just need to find a way how to get it a bit better in qualifying. But it is not dramatic, it is always I am behind him or one after that, so it I not a massive thing. NFL China Factory .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Each morning, 75-year-old Jose Rebamar works his biceps, triceps and quadriceps with stone weights at an outside gym that looks out on Rio de Janeiros iconic Sugarloaf Mountain.Living in a city of near daily sunshine and warm weather, the ex-Brazilian Navy sailor says there is no excuse to ever slow down. And having the Olympics in town provides even more incentive to stay in shape. Rebamar has been watching the games on television every night.If I dont work out one day, I feel like I didnt do anything, like the day didnt happen, he said, interspersing barbell sets with yoga-like stretches.Visitors to South Americas first Olympic games are getting an eyeful of the beauty- and fitness-obsessed culture that is synonymous with Rio, a land of muscle-taxing samba dancing, acrobatic capoeira martial arts and dental floss bikinis and Speedos that reveal more than they conceal. Remember it was Brazil that gave birth to the Brazilian bikini wax and even the Brazilian Butt Lift, a type of plastic surgery that aims to put a little more oomph in your rump.Beauty is also big business here: Brazil always ranks among the worlds top-five cosmetic-buying countries. Its also the worlds second-biggest consumer of plastic surgery, after the United States. Outside workout areas are ubiquitous, as are specialty shops with names such as integrated center for aesthetics, which offer everything from nail work to detailed analysis of facial curves to determine the kind of haircut to make people look their best.People are running and cycling and working out all over the city, said Imke Bergmann, a 45-year-old nurse from Munich who came to watch the games. Its impressive.And of course the glamour craze found its way into the Olympics.Consider this: Dr. Ivo Pitanguy, one of the worlds most-recognized plastic surgeons who helped make Brazil a popular destination for the rich and famous to get work done, carried the Olympic flame on the games opening day that later lit the cauldron at Maracana Stadium. The next day he died of a heart attack at 93, and Brazilian broadcasters cut away from competition coverage for hours to focus on the life of one of the countrys most important personalities.Or this: Supermodel Gisele Bundchen was a headliner at the opening ceremony, swaggering to The Girl from Ipanema, the famous Brazilian song that, you guessed it, is about falling in love with a beautiful girl at the beach.Away from the venues, there is plenty to gawk at.On Copacabana Beach, men with muscles out of an anattomy book play pickup soccer games while women sunbathe the way a rotary chicken gets cooked: methodically rotating around.dddddddddddd. In neighborhoods like Leblon, Rios most expensive locale, men and women draped in designer threads strut around as if they were heading to a Vogue cover shoot.I think I need to get into the gym, joked Ed Bai, a 48-year-old physical education teacher from Los Angeles, branding the beach scene in Rio incredible.Dr. Carlos Alberto Jaimovich, co-director of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, said the countrys obsession with beauty is driven by many factors: a tropical climate where its simply more comfortable to wear less, and a show-all media environment that includes magazine covers plastered with the nearly naked and always buff. Attractiveness is also equated with class in Brazil.Beauty is synonymous with social mobility, he said.And social mobility is directly related to race, meaning that more affluent whites are more likely to have the money for expensive beauty-related measures such as plastic surgery. Still, thanks to a practice that Pitanguy started decades ago, several clinics in the city offer free cosmetic surgeries to thousands of poor each year -- reconstructive procedures for cancer patients and burn victims, for example, but also operations for purely aesthetic purposes.Pitanguy, dubbed the philosopher of plastic surgery, often said that helping people look better on the outside made them feel better on the inside. In that way, many of the doctors who have followed in his footsteps believe that beauty is a right, and not something that just the rich should aspire to.Last year, Brazil ranked second behind the U.S. with 1.5 million plastic surgeries, the majority for aesthetic reasons.For tourists to Rio, the people-watching can be nearly as entertaining as the Olympic competitions. Taking in a recent beach volleyball match between Argentina and Brazil, Daniel Kuenge was awe-struck by the tremendous six-pack abs on display before him. But his wonder went beyond the Olympic venues.I do a lot of sports, so Im in pretty good shape, said Kuenge, a 64-year-old businessman from Switzerland. But seeing all these beautiful bodies in Rio makes you think: What else could I be doing?---Associated Press reporter Stan Lehman in Sao Paulo contributed to this report.---Peter Prengaman on Twitter: http://twitter.com/peterprengaman ' ' '
