Max today got his first taste of what his home Grand Prix will feel like when the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing star became the first man to drive a Formula 1 car at the newly renovated Zandvoort Circuit.

Max Verstappen is pleased with the pre-season tests and the new Red Bull RB16 as they tried everything they wanted and showed good speed, but he is aware that the car needs a lot of improvement at this early stage.

Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas set two fastest times on the first day of Barcelona's first Test and drove 151 laps together, but Max Verstappen gave Red Bull 161 laps to complete most laps out of all the teams.

Max Verstappen is quite pleased with today's qualifying session and believes that he and the team extracted the maximum potential from their car on this track while Alexander Albon says that his qualifying was pretty average and he isn't pleased with the result.

Max Verstappen says he does not understand recent run of form between Ferrari and Red Bull because Ferrari in Monza had less advantage than expected while in Singapore they were more competitive than expected.

All four Honda drivers will receive new engines of the Spec 4 V6 engine at the Russian GP to be ready for the next race in Japan without penalties and to finish the season without any further changes, the Japanese manufacturer confirmed ahead of the weekend of Sochi.

Max Verstappen says he and his team hoped to be able to fight to win in the Singapore GP after a strong form at the last low speed circuit in Hungary, but reckons the podium is still a good result for the third placed team after the difficult races in Belgium and Italy.

Lewis Hamilton continued to set the fastest time on the first race of the season and was the fastest in the second free practice for Mercedes, but Max Verstappen managed to split Hamilton and his teammate Valtteri Bottas while teams reduced the gap behind Mercedes.

Daniel Ricciardo did not know that his teammate Max Verstappen had an improved Renault F1 engine with more power even though he beat him in qualifying for the US GP in Austin.
