The "long weekend" ended on a high note Max Verstappen: after third place on Sunday, the Red Bull driver, on the day of testing held in Barcelona, ​​placed himself in front of everyone with a time of 1:17.528, with an advantage of +0.034 over Carlos Sainz and +0.131 on Sebastian Vettel. The young Dutchman achieved his time on the Supersoft tires (the Spaniard from Renault, however, on the Hypersofts and the Ferrari driver on the Softs), completing a total of 148 laps.

“Today we wanted to further deepen our understanding of the car and the tyres” – declared Verstappen at the end of the day. "We managed to do more than what was planned in our program, so that was very positive. We did a lot of laps, I thought as if it were a winter test: there were no technical problems and I didn't suffer physically from it. Now my next stop is Zandvoort, this Sunday, where I will star in a show with Daniel (Ricciardo, ed.) David Coulthard: I hope we can provide all the fans with a good show”.

Tomorrow Verstappen will leave the RB14 in the hands of the 22-year-old Englishman Jake dennis.
