Results

Max Verstappen, complained after the end of the second training session lack of grip in slow turns, yet he was pleased with his ranking.
If they can be happy with their achievements at the start of the race weekend at Ferrari in AlphaTauri (ob Gasly's it is in fifth place tsunoda achieved a solid tenth place), they are obviously in trouble at Mercedes, which he also announced on the radio Lewis Hamilton, who wondered where such a difference to the leaders arises. It was even worse Bottas, who also made a lot of driving mistakes and turned around in the first turn towards the end of training.
They also have reasons for dissatisfaction with Aston Martin, saj Stroll in Vettel found only in 14th and 15th place, and had a lot of pitch as well Mick Schumacher, who missed the vast majority of his second free practice due to a malfunction on his race car. Neura in the end is all the same
