Thus begins the interview with Red Bull driver Max Verstappen on the first day of the 2024 Australian GP weekend: “There was a little bit of confusion. I went a bit' wide in FP1 and there I damaged the bottom and also the frame, and so it took a while to get all these things sorted out. I wasted almost twenty minutes, But I believe that all in all we are static quite fast. And we managed to complete more or less the program. We would have liked to do a few more laps, but we had twenty minutes to go: that's how it went".

Goes on then the interview with Max Verstappen in view of the Australian GP in a “predictive” mode post FP2: “What feelings do I have about qualifying and race pace?

Nothing earth-shattering, nothing too worrying: only some small adjustments” he is keen to clarify number #1 on the condition of his car's set-up. The Dutch Lion then also found:”We have some work to do. Surely the degradation was not the best in the long run: you have to work a little there.” In short, after the snag, Verstappen rolled up his sleeves during FP1, which he still finished in second position, as well as the FP2 of the Australian GP.
