Max Verstappen says Formula 1’s thrไee-day pre-season test in Bahrain was “definitely” his best since joining Red B🌼ull.

Red Bull topped two of the three days of winter testing at the Bahrain International ꦐCircuit and enjoyed trouble-free running thr✱oughout as Verstappen and new teammate Sergio Perez racked up the miles.

The team’s testing form, coupled with Mercedes’ struggles, led reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton to warn that Red Bull will be a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“different animal” in this year’s title race.

Asked if he felt it had been the strongest pre-season test of his F1 career after produci🌌ng the fastest lap time on Day 3, Verstappen replied: “Yeah, definitely I think it has been the best.

"But it doesn't give you any ꦛguarantees. We'll find out through the first race weekend where we are.

“We did our programme, and compared to my first day [on Friday], the conditions were quite a bit different so we had to adjust the car a little bit to it,” he added. “But I think from our side it was very smooth and happy with o𒁏ur progress throughout the whole test.

“We always look into what we can♉ improve💖. And for sure there are some things we want to work on. But I guess every team has that.”

Red Bull stru🅺ggled with correlation issues and an unstable rear-end throughout 2020 but the early signs from pre-season testing indicated that the team has managed to address this weakness with its upgraded RB16B.

Verstappen hinted at some prౠomising progress and confirmed that Red Bull’s 2021 F1 car is more stable to drive.

“So far, it's been quite ✱a stable car, so it's nice,” the Dutchman ♋said.

“Th♕ere are a lot of change🧸s made as well to the floor, so it's always a bit difficult once you know you'll lose a bit of downforce on the car with this floor.

“I’m lo𒈔oking forward to [the first race]. I guess everyone is now, but I personally find a race weekend a lot mor🍸e interesting. But of course these days need to be done to understand the car better.”
