Basically, that's how it was. Verstappen, without having raced in the second free practice session, however managed the race well with an excellent start, which earned him the first position in the following laps. A Red Bull that scared Ferrari quite a bit, so much so that Binotto admitted at the end of the GP: “They are two tenths faster than us“. Admission that made Verstappen smile who replied: “The biggest difference with Ferrari? The color of the car".
