Of course, [it was] a little bit of a shame it was raining in the second practice as otherwise, we could have had a look. So yeah, a lot of work to do.”When asked what specifically was the problem with his car, he responded: “Just balance, overall. We need to look at that.”Red Bull team-mate Alexander Albon also struggled for pace – ending FP1 down in 13th, three-tenths shy of Verstappen.Albon said there wasn’t just one area Red Bull was losing out in.”Just more unpredictability than anything else,’’ Albon added. “It’s not one corner, it’s not a big margin in a specific place it’s just bits everywhere. The car’s not quite what we want and we just need to do some work to find out what’s going on.”I think the weather has been hurting us a bit – just trying to understand the car a bit better. Obviously, FP1 wasn’t ideal and we couldn’t try anything for FP2. We will have to look through the data in a bit more detail tonight and see what we can come up with for tomorrow.”
