GianPiero Lambiase, head of racing of Oracle Red Bull Racing, said after Max Verstappen’s P5 in sprint qualifying in Miami: “It was a very positive day for us as a team. The break between the races has given all teams the opportunity to really reflect on the first test and first couple of races. We have been able to understand the limitations on the car and understand any issues that have been hindering the balance and I think as a team we have done that very well.”

Lambiase continued: “We have got on top of, not only generic performance, but also some more fundamental issues with the car that we had and Max is feeling extremely comfortable and that reflected in his performance today. Overall, it has been a very good day and a positive start but we won’t stop there, we will look to build on that overnight.”
