On-board radios VT1 & VT2 |  Verstappen:

In Barcelona there were plenty of things different during the first free practice sessions of the weekend. For example, the track has been adjusted compared to last year, and various teams brought upgrades. Moreover, the weather also caused tension, because there was rain in the air. There was also enough discussion between the drivers and engineers and F1Maximum has listed the best on-board radios for you.

Last season it was on the circuit in Barcelona where the porpoising phenomenon was first encountered. The circuit may be different and the cars have been further developed, but in Barcelona in particular, various drivers are complaining about the phenomenon. George Russell was the first. “A bit of bouncing on the stretch towards the last corner,” it sounded, after which Sergio Pérez also indicated that he had the same problem in that corner. “I start bouncing as I enter the last corner.” The other Red Bull, that of Max Verstappen, also had problems with bouncing. “The car bounces under braking at turn ten and the last corner.”

Although Verstappen was actually constantly ahead of the rest of the field, the Dutchman was not completely satisfied with his car. ‘This fashion is *** terrible. There is clipping at the start of each round,” said the two-time world champion. Furthermore, it didn’t matter much if Sargeant was no longer happy with his car, but then because he had damage. He barely steered away, so it only came to a small tap with Gasly. “Me and Gasly hit each other.”

Dark clouds during workouts

Towards the end of the first free practice, Esteban Ocon was already worried about the clouds moving towards the circuit. ‘Are the clouds threatening or not?’, he asked, but it remained dry. The same situation occurred during the second free practice session, but this time it was teammate Gasly who asked about the weather. “There are a lot of clouds,” he noted, after which Russell confirmed a moment later that something was actually coming from the sky. “A few light drops of rain in turn 9,” said the Briton, but it didn’t really push through.

Russell made a lot of noise anyway, because the back of his car was not nice during the second free practice either. “Quite a lot of bottoming,” he said, then spoke again after a McLaren got in the way and he ended up in the gravel trap. ‘Who the *** was that? In the McLaren,” he expressed his displeasure. Sainz also had trouble with the rear of his car, and he thought about damage. “Maybe the floor could be looked at, I feel like I lost quite a bit of back there.

Overcapacity at Verstappen

Verstappen once again showed that he has a good dose of overcapacity. The Dutchman was clearly the fastest and apparently he still had power left. When Gianpiero Lambiase passed him information, he heard a telephone ringing in the background. “Someone’s phone rings, is that Helmut’s?” asked the driver, after which, according to his engineer, it indeed turned out to be the advisor’s phone.
