Verstappen says Red Bull still finding pace after first Friday at Madring
Max Verstappen said Red Bull are still getting up to speed after Formula 1’s first running at Madrid’s Madring circuit. He ended Friday sixth fastest at the Spanish Grand Prix as the new venue’s opening F1 sessions passed with limited disruption.
Formula 1 teams and drivers tackled the Madring for the first time on Friday at the Spanish Grand Prix. After the opening day, Max Verstappen said Red Bull were still "getting up to speed" at the new Madrid circuit.
Verstappen finished Friday sixth fastest. Early running for F1 at the circuit around the IFEMA complex was calmer than some in the paddock had feared.
While Formula 3 and Formula 2 sessions featured several crashes, including one car catching fire, Formula 1 had only one incident so far: a crash for Arvid Lindblad. At this stage, the Madring has not appeared to be a major threat to cars in F1 running.
