Day three of the first 2019 Formula 1 pre-season test saw Max Verstappen back in the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing RB15 for another productive day’s work. Max clocked a healthy tally of 109 laps as Red Bull Racing began to push on and really explore the capabilities of the new car. Following a series of aero tests in the morning, Max moved on to longer runs in the afternoon.

“For the first two days of the test, we were concentrating on accumulating mileage but today we switched focus and began to work on car set-up”, said head of race engineering Guillaume Rocquelin. “Today, we switched to a different rear-wing that is more suited to this circuit. That put us in the right ballpark for this track, and allowed us to get a better understanding of what the car can do. We made a lot of set-up changes throughout the afternoon, performance improved and we’re quite happy with how we ended the day.”
