Verstappen explains ‘quite spicy’ save

“I think the whole weeken♈d we've never found that sweet spot, unfo🎉rtunately. Most of the time people were aborting their laps on new tyres.
“Every time at the beginning of a session, people behind me, they were on scrub tyres🍷, when I put new tyres on. It was okay, but it's just not how I like it.
“The car was never really, as I s𝔉aid, planted. It was a bit difficult in some corners, and it made it very difficult to be consistent.”
