Max Verstappen has said that fifth place was the best that he could do, as the Dutchman thinks the Red Bull still lacks a lot of pace on straights in particular.
"We've been wrestling with the engine all weekend long," Verstappen told the media scrum.
"There's something going on with the software, it's kind of comparable to Azerbeidjan last year because the engine didn't break either then.
"I'm very impressed by Ferrari, their car is just so fast right now.
"The weather could be the deciding factor as it's now cold but tomorrow it'll be warmer, so we'll see what we can do tomorrow."

Last season, Verstappen got his first podium of the season in China as the then-teenager finished third behind Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen went on to win two races last season, in Mexico and Malaysia.
