Verstappen admits fault for pre-season spins

Max Verstappen admits that the various spins on Thursday morning testing were his fault. Verstappen ended the morning session in fifth place before handing over driving duties to Alex Albon for the afternoon session. "I looked back on the footage and I clipped two wheels on a damp patch," said Verstappen. "I tried to use a bit too much road. I didn't see the damp patch so that was the issue. "It was a bit of a shame about the weather, so we couldn't really run as much as we wanted to but its the same for everyone. Overall it was a positive day, we seemed to be working well. "I think every day we are improving and learning more about the car and that is exactly what we want to do." Source: gpfans
