It doesn’t matter if it rains or snows. The two of them formed Max Verstappen and his red bull It’s the best on the grill. The car has so much downforce, that in wet conditions, it flies too. And in the hands of the Dutch, he seemed unstoppable. Max showed it again in the third free practice of the Canadian GP. The reigning world champion led the Canadian FP3, which started in heavy rain and continued on wet asphalt with drivers on intermediate tyres. The track was improving and before it rained again, Max punched the table with a great time to lead the session ahead of a classification that would also be marked by rain.

Sainz accident

Carlos was 1″659 off Max’s best time, but that time was not fully representative. Sainz was always among the best, and in fact, set the second fastest time of the day midway through the session. , ahead of Leclerc, second only to Verstappen. But just after that he crashed into the wall at turn 1. On the wet asphalt, under full braking, he suddenly lost the car and went into the barriers.harms the nose and also hits the back.
