Max Verstappen has revealed that Red Bull weren't driving on the limit yet, even though the Bulls got a one-two in both FP1 and FP2 in the Principality on Thursday.
Verstappen told his own website Verstappen.nl that there's a lot that can be achieved this weekend.
"Everything went well from the start, the car feels amazing and it's easy to control.
"We have to make sure we can continue this form in qualifying now, the speed is definitely there and we weren't driving on the limit."
Verstappen had multiple laps where he had two purple sectors but slowed down because of traffic, slowing down his lap times.
"I don't have to improve anything," he told Crash.net
"I had bad luck that I couldn't string all sectors together, but that's normal in practice."
