Is Verstappen still reporting setup issue?

Verstappen has no issues. Long run pace was unmatched.

This issue could have been there since pre-season. The problem is RB never ran Max on lowish fuel. Max has always been happier on higher fuel. I wonder if he's just feeling what was always there.

Unmatched? Alonso was matching him pretty much every single lap on that long run, sitting right behind him!

Is he fit to do the GP? I'm thinking no if he can't have two hands on steering wheel down the straight. And he hasn't done close to a GP distance

Makes the whole medical side of things a joke. Surely he shouldn’t be allowed to drive unless proven to be fully fit. He’s endangering himself and others. Drugovich should be in that seat this GP

I Agree, very slight understeer but the balance mid corner onwards looks fantastic, may not be faster than the merc but it looks a bit easier to drive
