Verstappen: "Not amazing, lets see in a few more laps. I'm struggling a lot under braking, the front is overheating."
'Red Bull operationally exceptional'published at 15:02 British Summer Time 4 June 2023
Marc Priestley
F1 commentator on BBC Radio 5 LiveVerstappen is 15 and a half seconds - nobody can match him and I do think he can get a lot of grief. That team and that driver are doing an unbelievable job.
Not only creating an unbelievable car, they've got a brilliant driver who rarely puts a foot wrong but operationally they are pretty exceptional.

Marc Priestley
F1 commentator on BBC Radio 5 LiveSainz is asking the question to ask what can I do to beat Perez. He's looking backwards. He's not looking forwards and thinking how can I beat Russell and Hamilton. It's how can I hold on to this fourth place.
The only way to answer that is 'get yourself in a Red Bull, mate' because that car is coming fast and from the performance I've seen today from Ferrari, I don't think they've got anything else to match it.

Andrew Benson
BBC Sport’s chief F1 writerJust on the Mercedes upgrades - in one way this is a good track to judge upgrades but Mercedes did say this weekend don't get carried away if we are quick in Barcelona because we were quick in Barcelona last year - it's just a track that suits our car.
It will take a few more races to really judge on whether these upgrades are good.
