It wasn't an easy start to the weekend for Max Verstappen, quite the contrary. Free Friday it should be completely deleted for the Dutch driver who in the second session was forced to not be able to complete a lap following various problems with his single-seater.
Reliability problem
Reliability therefore continues to be one of the big problems at Red Bull. Let's remember that the Dutchman has already experienced such scenes at the beginning of the season: the retirements in Bahrain and Australia are not in fact events that happened so long ago and the specter that they could happen again are not entirely excluded.
Verstappen: "It was a painful day"
Max Verstappen knows this well and, at the end of the session, he declared:
“It was an extremely painful day. Today it was important to ride to learn the track and instead I only did 4 or 5 fast laps. We got zero information about my car here on this troubled Friday.”
