Verstappen completely positive after test: 'Car is more predictable'

Max Verstappen finished the test in Bahrain as he started it, with the fastest time of the day. The 1:28.960 he drove at the end of the Sunday evening session was also the fastest time of the weekend. The fact that Yuki Tsunoda, also with the Honda engine, was close behind is a good sign for next season.

"We just drove our programme and I do have a positive feeling in the car," Verstappen told Verstappen.com.

Red Bull seem to be more competitive already compared to recent years after Mercedes' underwhelming weekend.
