It is likely another car/chassis he drives.

Max Verstappen was in charge of the Bahrain Grand Prix from start to finish and won the season-opener of the 2023 F1 season. Sergio Perez made it a perfect race for Red Bull Racing while Fernando Alonso secured third place, benefiting from late race trouble for Ferrari.
It was close, but Alonso was using slightly fresher tyres and towards the end of the stint Max was ~3 tenths quicker.
Well Stroll has already wasted precious running time for Felipe.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑03 Mar 2023, 18:02Makes 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
If I was Max, then I'd be asking for the test chassis (if there are still issues).
Why would he take a chassis with such massive milliage?
He backed off for a few corners and then pushed several more laps. The effect would have been minimal. Alonso was using Mediums first but locked up, then swapped to new softs when most of the other cars had already done 2-3 laps on their soft tyres. Again, I think the pace is comparable between the two, but the advantage seemed to shift towards RB later, especially when you account for Max using older tyres.
Because the test chassis is the only one that he knows works and the mileage isn't that big of a deal.
Scrubbed. Obviously not completely new but much fresher than what the other cars were running.
