Max Verstappen is putting in brilliant laps for his team Red Bull in the free practice sessions. He and teammate Sergio Perez are leaving no stone unturned to prepare for the Australian GP ahead. While practice sessions have been decent for the Austrian team, they faced some minor problems here and there.

Max Verstappen involved in a tricky situation
Arch-rivals Ferrari has been leading both the drivers’ and constructors’ tables. Their star driver Charles Leclerc has given a very tough time to Verstappen in a long while. Despite Ferrari’s strong comeback, the Red Bull camp has kept their calm and presented a brilliant front. They have a world champion in Max Verstappen, a solid competitive car in RB18, and a consistent point maker in Sergio Perez. So, it looks difficult to defeat this feisty and hungry Red Bull team.
Max: "What a sh*t show between 9 and 10 there."
Engineer: "Thanks for not screaming down the radio about it."
Max: "You're welcome!"#AusGP #F1

Drivers have reported Turn 3 to be the most notorious one till now. Many cars faced trouble and were locking up while trying to make it past the turn, which is 4 meters wider now. This particular turn has proved to be very tricky even for incredibly experienced drivers like Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
While street circuits are never easy to get totally right, this one might just prove to be the ultimate test. With several changes, the track seems to be more complex, with a higher overtaking difficulty. Several accidents could take place if the drivers lose attention even for a fraction of a second as the track looks unforgiving to mistakes.
