🗣️ Nico Rosberg: “I have such respect for Max for what he's achieved this year, because that car really is not a very good car so far, except for maybe Imola, and thats with a question mark. And he's still right there— taking wins away from the McLarens and in the hunt for the championship. Incredible driving at the top of his game, certainly one of the best we've ever seen in the sport.”
🎙️| Helmut Marko: Red Bull's best Friday recently. Grid tighter; Ferrari, Mercedes, us closer. Happy w/ strong Friday.
McLaren slightly ahead, but we, Ferrari, Mercedes caught up. Car setup & race day key.
🚨 Red Bull needs final gains—every tenth counts!
🚨 According to AutoRacer, RBR and Ferrari will be least affected by the new technical directive in Spain.
- Red Bull and Ferrari need only minor, barely noticeable wing updates.
- McLaren and Mercedes relied most on wing flexibility.
🎙️| Max Verstappen says he's confident they'll be better tomorrow:
"We made some changes after the first free practice, but it was a bit too much. I couldn't attack the corners anymore. I'm confident we can be closer tomorrow"
