Max Verstappen made another slip-up in the absolute final stages of the first free practice session for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing driver spun at Turn 15, but he managed to keep his RB18 out of the wall. Over the board radio, Verstappen expressed his dissatisfaction to Gianpiero Lambiase, his race engineer.

Max Verstappen was not entirely happy with the balance in the first free practice anyway, but towards the second free practice, Red Bull has already made some changes to the set-up. The Austrian formation, therefore, hopes that the DRS problems are a thing of the past.
