Verstappen has had three really difficult practice sessions, he doesn't have any data to go by in regards to his team-mate because Sergio Perez has not been on the pace.
[Red Bull] have got to change something but what do they change?

Every time that Mercedes tries to negotiate a corner, it's as if they just show it the corner and the rear will either over rotate and have an oversteer, or, they will go straight into understeer and have an oversteer moment on the exit.
It's like the drivers don't really know what's going to happen with the car, it looks so nervous and on edge.

Sergio Perez, watched on by Papa Perez this weekend, needs a strong race on home soil to turn around what has been a "terrible" season, in his words. The Mexican reaches his adoring fans in the stadium section but a lock-up means he has to back off and abort his attempt, keeping him down in 13th place.

Lewis Hamilton is fourth on the timesheets after his run on the soft tyres. His engineer Pete Bonnington informs the seven-time world champion he is over half a second away from the McLaren of Oscar Piastri. Hamilton is flabbergasted.
[On Ferraris team principal] Fred Vasseur has played an absolute blinder on a whole bunch of different levels but he's just calmed everything down, he's taken the drama out of Ferrari.
They don't have reliability problems anymore, the strategy is much more solid, they do make the odd mistake but everybody does.

I am excited about Liam Lawson, I think he's driven pretty much everything and anything and been quick in everything he's ever done. I am tipping him for really good things.

The rookie has some information for his pit wall, however, saying: "I hit the floor quite hard on the exit of Turn Three".
