Max Verstappen is concerned about the impact of Friday’s reliability issues, including an ERS problem, on his season following the Canadian Grand Prix practice session. Red Bull had to investigate a suspected ERS issue on Verstappen’s car, limiting his track time during FP2. The team is working on resolving the problem which could affect Verstappen’s performance for the weekend and the rest of the season. Verstappen, who took his third power unit components on Friday, is one of several drivers facing potential penalties due to the limited components allowed per season.
Lando Norris, despite topping FP1, expressed dissatisfaction with the limited track time in both dry and wet conditions on Friday, indicating uncertainty about McLaren’s performance compared to competitors like Ferrari. Fernando Alonso, setting the fastest time in FP2 for Aston Martin, also highlighted the challenging conditions and the need for sharp decision-making based on limited data. Both drivers emphasized the need for careful analysis and strategic planning for the upcoming sessions and races.
