Max Verstappen clocked the fourth fastest time in the opening session of the US Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton was quickest ahead of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel and his Mercedes team mate, Valtteri Bottas.
“It was an interesting session because of the wet track”, Max said to Verstapppen.nl. “It felt good, but it’s difficult to judge what our real pace is because the track continued to dry. At the end, during the long run, it felt all good. We still have to see how quick we are in the short runs, but it was a positive start.”
Just before the session starts, Red Bull Racing announce that Max has extended his contract with the Milton Keynes based squad until 2020.
