On the first day of testing, Max Verstappen confirmed the speed and reliability of the new machine…
Max Verstappen: “A good day. We hoped to cover a long distance, in the end we managed almost three Grands Prix. There were almost no problems, we could fully concentrate on the car by trying different solutions.
I have ridden many series, both during the day when it was warm and sunny, and in the evening, in more representative conditions. It is nice to see that the car has become even faster compared to last year! Rubber works a little differently, but otherwise we are satisfied.
It is difficult to judge from one day of testing what results we will achieve this season, but the most important thing is that the car is already working well. Tomorrow afternoon I will drive again, we can try different compounds and prepare for the first race of the season, which will be held next week.”
