Red Bull Racing's Rocquelin after day six of testing: 'It was a good morning'

Max Verstappen drove 128 laps around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on his third day of testing in the RB15. Commenting on the Wednesday’s running, head of race engineering, Guillaume Rocquelin, said: "We had another good morning, following the same plan as yesterday, when we got through a lot of shorter runs and set-up changes. In the afternoon, we went into a scheduled race simulation. We managed two-thirds of that but after Max had a brief off, we pitted for some routine checks with the gearbox. It’s not the easiest element of the car to get deep into, so it kept us in the garage for a while."

"When we did get back out, the change in track conditions meant we weren’t going to learn that much so we focused on pit stop practice, which we had planned as part of the race work. Tomorrow, we’ll pursue the same plan, which is all about understanding the car and gaining valuable information."
