One of the sport's most enthralling talents albeit also a temperamental one, Max Verstappen of Red Bull had a modestly impressive outing in his Red Bull at the Yas Marina for the tyre-testing.

Max was the fourth fastest of the lot and was able to record a time of 1:37:947, lagging behind Lance Stroll, Valtteri Bottas, and Sebastian Vettel of Racing Point, Mercedes, and Ferrari respectively.

While Max was able to set a quicker time in the afternoon, the Dutchman wasn't flying by his normal standards. In the end, Verstappen was around 1.1 seconds slower than Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel, who reigned on top at the end of the day.

That being said, we know the kind of talent Verstappen is. Perhaps not the best bet on qualifyings- to quote as an example- he's the guy who gets the job done on most race-days.

And now, it will be interesting to see how he and the impending car shape up for the winter testing.
