Verstappen missed the first 25 minu✅tes of FP2 due to floor damage, and was the🐭n 0.381 behind his Ferrari rival.

Friday in Australia was a rare chink in the armour of the dominant Verstappen since the F1 2024𒐪 season started.

He described his start to the third round o🐈f the season to Sky: "Unfortunately a little bit messy because of what happened in FP1.

“I went wide, damaged the floor and also the chassis. It took a little bit longer to fix that unfortunately so I lost abꦅout 20 minutes.

"I do think the turnaround was very quick, what we did 🍎as a team, so I more or less completed the programme still.

“Long꧟ run I would have liked maybe a few more laps but with missing 20 minutes, that’s how it goes.

"I think it was alright.”

Verstappen assessed his competition: “I ꩵthink Ferrari is quick but I think from our side, there are also a few more things that we can fine tune.

“So nothing crazy, nothing worryin꧂g, I think we just need to fine🐼 tune a little bit the car."

Notably, Leclerc’s Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz (returning t🥀o action from appendix surgery) was third fastest behind Verstappen.

Verstappen’s 🅰Red 𓆏Bull teammate Sergio Perez was eighth.

Red Bull have completed two 1-2 finishes in the first two grands prix of the year, with Verstappen already on course for a🧔 fourth F1 championship in a row.

But Ferrari’s impressive Friday suggests he will, at least, have competition for pole position on Satಌurday from the famous Italian manufacturer, who were the only team aside from Red Bull to win a grand prix last year.
