Verstappen unsure as to what is expected in Saudi Arabia for Red Bull: "We will see"

The second free practice session for the Dutchman was an improvement on the first, taking P3 under the lights of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

However, there is still no clear indication on whether the RB21 will make any improvements after a disappointing showing in Bahrain last week, with Verstappen not wanting to speak at the post-race debrief, such was his displeasure at the team.

“Today we tried some different things with the car and worked to find a different direction," the Dutchman explained.

“Compared to Bahrain, the grip levels and set-up of the car are completely different,t so it is very difficult to compare to last week, but it is still clear that we want to be faster,” continued Verstappen, sure whether there will be any changes from last week's disappointment in Bahrain.

"For tomorrow, it is difficult to say how competitive we will be; the McLarens look really competitive. There is still a bit of work to do and things to understand, so we will see," concluded Verstappen.
