Verstappen surprised with the fastest time in the first free practice and was also well placed later in the second session with a third time (and a good long run). “It went pretty well,” he says via Verstappen.com. “We had no major problems and the balance was there immediately. We had the car well set up and were mainly fine-tuning. Some things worked well, some didn’t, but overall the car worked fine and with the package we have, it was a good day.”

Still, the four-time world champion does not count on success yet for the rest of the weekend. “We focus on ourselves. I don’t know how much is possible compared to the others. I think you will only see the real gaps in the third free practice, but that is nothing shocking and it is as expected. Hopefully we can close the gap towards qualifying.”
