Max Verstappen is not satisfied with the fourth best time he set in second free practice. The time he drove seems to matter little to him, but the practice session itself was treacherous and leaves room for improvement.

It was close in the second free practice session. Charles Leclerc was fastest, but Verstappen was just three-tenths of a second slower in P4. In front of him were Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris. The weather makes the weekend difficult to build up. It goes from warm temperatures to (predicted) heavy storms and rain. On Verstappen.com the Dutchman says: "It was a bit treacherous today."

"We expected that, we tried to find the right balance between the high and low speed corners and we still have some work to do. Ferrari has a lead and it will be difficult to make up the difference. For tomorrow we will try to close the gap as much as possible and then we will see what the weather will do," Verstappen said.
