Red Bull’s Max Verstappen has revealed his concerns surrounding Mercedes ahead of qualifying in Baku.
Mercedes finished 4th and 5th in FP2, with both Red Bulls finishing higher with Verstappen in 3rd and Daniel Ricciardo topping the timesheets ahead of Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen.
“Kimi is quick and for sure tomorrow Sebastian will be there, so we still need to improve but it was a good day,” Verstappen said.
“We also know in qualifying Mercedes have this power mode so they will be quicker but on the other hand, our car was handling well and when you start to feel more and more comfortable in the car you can usually gain three or fourth tenths on a track like this, so hopefully it will be the same tomorrow.
“As for the end of the second session, I think we just had a faulty sensor issue so no concerns.”
