SAKHIR, BahrainL Max Verstappen topped the times and then tried to play down his early advantage over Lewis Hamilton after Friday's practice for this weekend's season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver outpaced nearest rival Norris, in his Mercedes-powered McLaren, by 0.095 seconds and Hamilton by slightly more than two-thirds. Aston Martin, so impressive last season when called Racing Point, were also hit by this issue and have been working feverishly to improve their floor and diffuser performance.
But the one-hour session, reduced from 90 minutes to cut costs, provided few clear signals for the season ahead other than confirmation that Red Bull are narrowly fastest ahead of a tight pack.
