Max Verstappen admits Red Bull were "a bit too slow" during Friday practice at Zandvoort.
After the second session, Verstappen admitted: “Of course FP1 we didn’t really get a lot of running in but I guess in FP2 you could see a little bit more where you are.“At the moment no clear answer of how to improve that specifically, but we’ll look into things. Just a bit too slow, as simple as that.”
Verstappen is unbeaten at Zandvoort since its return to the F1 calendar in 2021 and is seeking what would be a fourth consecutive victory at home. But the three-time world champion goes into the race without a win in four races, having last stood on the top step of the podium at the Spanish Grand Prix in June.“We’ll try to just find a little bit more performance for Sunday.”was six tenths slower than Verstappen in second practice as he ended up 12th in the order.“I think our day looks a little bit better than it shows in terms of order. I did a mistake into Turn 12, I went off, so I lost a couple of tenths.
“I think overall we’ve got some work to do, especially in the long-run pace, to try and match the people ahead. I think we’ve run both cars very differently, so I think we’ve got a busy day ahead.” Perez has had to adjust to working with a new race engineer. That is because his normal engineer, Hugh Bird, is missing the next four races to go on paternity leave.“It’s something that stands out on my side, but I think every session is just going to get better and more used to it.”
