![]() Russell complained of vibrations in FP1 and lost some running with the team having to change his steering rack, which was carrying a development part on it. If I am able to improve my driving and get myself a bit more comfortable, I should be alright." So, I still have quite a bit to come, together with my driving because I was not driving very well today. On one of my flying laps I locked up on the final corner and then on the long run I don’t think we managed to get too much of a read on the laps we got in. We have been trying some stuff with the mechanical balance and I think we learnt quite a bit. Getting a read in these low grip conditions is tricky but there are only very small margins to ensure we make improvements. "The conditions out there aren’t great, especially the grip in FP1, it felt like inter to wet tyre conditions. We’ll have to see what the weather will do tomorrow, but overall it’s been a positive day." There are still a few things we want to look at overnight, ideally we want to be faster on every corner, which isn’t always possible. Most importantly today we had good balance in the car so I feel happy. It’s still quite slippery off line but on the driving line it’s okay. Initially we were getting used to the track with the new tarmac, it was ramping up a lot throughout the day.

Perez locked up and ran wide on a couple of occasions, but from being off the pace in FP1, at least dragged himself back into contention in the second session. Verstappen complained about his headrest at times as he had done in Baku, but in FP2 looked very quick indeed and wound up on top by an eye-watering 0.385s. It wasn’t a trouble-free first day for Red Bull in Miami.
