Max Verstappen says it was aꦅ “miracle” Red Bull made it out on track for the final day of Formula 1 pre-season testing foll🐼owing Pierre Gasly’s big crash. 

Red Bull mechanics worked overnight to repair the wrecked RB15 following a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:huge incident ꩲfor Gasly on the penultimate day of ꧅running. 

Gasly went off at the fast right han♕der of Turn 9 and hit the barriers rear-end first, causing significant damage to the team’s 2019 challeꦡnger.

Red Bull flew additional parts to Barcelona on Thursday nig⛎ht to ensure Verstappen could conduct some running, though he managed just 29 laps before a gearbox issue signalled a premature end to his programme.&nb🌺sp;

“The team worked so very hard to even let me drive today at all,” Verst✤app﷽en said. 

“We just had very few parts. Everything came over from England last night. So, i♎t's a miracle we were even able to go out. 

“We were a bit short on gearboxes. Two were already brokဣen in two ﷽crashes. So that was it.

“It wasn't great today but the speed looks🥃 alright. Looking at long runs the top teams are all fairly close. We can be happy with that.” 

Despite Red Bull’s mileage setbacks on the final two day♈s of winter testing, the Dutchman re𝓀mains confident the team is better-placed heading into 2019 with new engine supplier Honda. 

Asked about Red Bull’s prospects heading to Melbourne, Verstappಞen replied: “It's a long season, so much can happen. 

“Lꦬast year the world chaไmpionship was out of reach after the summer break. In Melbourne we need to score good points, no matter the positions. 

“We are fairly well on pace. Not sure whether it's enough, ཧbecause we didn't really get to do low fuel runs. 

“If we look to the longer runs, it looks all pretty promising, so yeah, I’m looking fo👍rwa🎀rd to start racing now. 

“I think we have a pretty good package. And also t🐲he engine seems to work really well. So I’m really happy about that.”
