Max Verstappen explains “weird” handling complaint in Dutch GP F1 practice

During second practice, Verstappen reported to his team: “The car is just, in the medium speed, doing some weird things. I think we move it rearwards, mayꦅbe it's the brakes? I don't know. It's really wei🤡rd.
It meant that Verstaꩵppen could not topple Lando Norris at the top of the timesheets.
Speaking after practi🍸ce, Verstappen was asked if it was a “c🎃ause for concern”.
He replied: “No, it’s just particular corners I was not really happy with the balance, so it’s all about trying to sort t𒉰hat out a little bit more.”
Verstappen was more conten✨t with how his car felt on🎃 heavier fuel.
“Pretty good,” he added. “Tried some things on thꦗe car. I think FP2 was a little bit more difficult, but I t𝕴hink overall FP2 was really difficult to get a clean lap, there were a lot of cars always around.
“It ♔was fine, but we have a few things that we want to improve, but even on the long runs the car was handling quite well, so overall I think it was quite a good day.”
Verstappen 𓆏has won the last two Dutch Grands Prix from pole position in 2021 and 2022.
