F1 | Austrian GP, ​​Verstappen on the day: "Positive feelings despite the accident" [VIDEO]

Despite the accident which did not allow him to test the RB15 in race configuration, Max Verstappen said he was satisfied with the sensations he had during the first day of work on the Spielberg track, underlining how the car has good potential for this weekend in Austrian land. Verstappen, we remember, committed a small blunder entering Turn 8, which led to him hitting the barriers violently.

A significant problem, given that the Dutchman was unable to carry out the qualifying simulation (FP2 ended in ninth position. Ed.) and the race pace simulation. The Dutchman's hope, in any case, is to be able to improve the package during FP3, so as to be able to compete on equal terms with Ferrari and Mercedes, the real favorites for this weekend at the Red Bull Ring.
