Max Verstappen says iꦬt was a “miracle” Red Bull made it out on track for the final day of Formula 1 pre-season testing following Pierre Gasly’s big crash. 

Red Bull mechanics worked overnight to repair the wrecked RB15 following a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:huge incident for Gasly on𝓰 the penultimate day of running. 

Gasly went off at the fast right ha🦂nder of Turn 9 and hit the barriers rear-end firsꦓt, causing significant damage to the team’s 2019 challenger.

Red Bu✤ll flew additional parts to Barcelona on Thursday night to ensure Verstappen could conduct some running, though he managed just 29 laps before a gearbox issue signalled a premature end to his programme. 

“The team worked so very hard to even let me drive today at all,” Vers🎉tappen s💎aid. 

“We just had very few parts. Everyth꧒ing came over from England last night. So, it's a miracle we were even able to go out. 

“We were a bit short on gearboxes. Two were already broken in two crashes. So that was꧂ it.

“It wasn't great today but the speed looks alr💯ight. Looking at long runs the top teams are all fairly close. We can be happy with that.” 

Despite Red Bull’s mileage setbacks on the final🔜 two days of winter testing, the Dutchman remains confident the team is better-placed heading into 2019 with new engine supplier Honda.&🌠nbsp;

Asked about Red Bull’s prospects 𓆉heading to Melbourne, Verstappen replied: “It's a long season, so much can happen. 

“Last year the world championship was out of reach after the summer break. In Melbourne we need to s🌊core good points, no matter the positions෴. 

“We are fairly well on pace. Not sure whether it's enough, because we d𝓡idn't really get to𓂃 do low fuel runs. 

“If we look to the longer runs♉, it looks all pretty promising, so yeah, I’m looking fꦆorward to start racing now. 

“I think we have a pretty good package. And also the engine seems to work really 🗹well. So I’m really happy about that.”
