Once Verstappen had ironed out some early ♑handling gremlins, the Dutchman looked at one with his new challenger and appeared able to comfortably extract performance from🦹 it.
“Itও feels good to be back in an F1 car again and I had fun out on track today,” he summariꦏsed at the end of the day.
🍬“🐬We covered a lot of laps and tried quite a few things with the car, which was important, so happy overall with how it went.
“After the winter break, the first few laps always surprise you a little but then you get back into the swing of things pretty quickly. Ove💎rall, the car was responding well and considering this was only testing we had a nice day.
“Looking to tomorrow, we are speaking to our engineers about what the plans will be, but I am looking forward to getting into th♌e car in the afternoon.”
Verstappen’s race engineer Gi🏅anpiero🦄 Lambiase said Red Bull “got the answers we needed to” from the RB20.
“The winter break was fairly short this yea☂r but, nonetheless, the amount of work which has go𓆉ne into the car has been impressive as usual,” he explained.
“We came to🍌 Bahrain with a few unknowns around a relatively new car, but we have tested most of the 🐬fundamentals on day one and got the answers we needed to.
“Now🌃 we have a solid base to take onto days two and three, when Checo [Sergio Perez] takes over the car in the morning.”
