Verstappen: Red Bull has "a bit of work to do" overnight in Bahrain

Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly didn't have a dream start to their weekend in Bahrain. Verstappen finished sixth fastest in FP2, behind Nico Hulkenberg's Renault, while the Frenchman sat outside the top 10 when the chequered flag dropped.

The Red Bull boys admit to having problems while driving under the soft tyre, but they remain confident they'll be able to perform on Sunday.

"I think the second one on the medium tyre we were competitive but I had an issue on the last corner so I lost a few tenths there. On the softest tyre, I didn't feel the grip like I should have and then on the long runs were more competitive but we'll see. A bit of work to do," Verstappen told Sky Sports.

Gasly, who finished the session in P12 behind both McLaren cars and a Toro Rosso, virtually echoed the words of Verstappen showing the consitant problem in the Red Bull garage.

"I had a good feeling in the car, but with the soft tyre we tried something but it didn't really work right and it was a messy run so didn't really manage to put it together," Gasly said.
