In the round-up: Ahead of the third consecutive triple-header of Formula 1 races beginning next week, Max Verstappen says teams are at the limit of what they can cope with.
What they say
Verstappen said he can cope with repeated triple-headers for now – another is expected at the end of the season:
I think for the moment it’s fine. We had a long break before. I don’t see this happening well, hopefully, next year, where you keep doing triple-headers. I think that’s a bit too much. If you can make sure that… two weekends in a row, I think that’s OK. Having a week break in between is fine.
But of course we have to accept that at the moment, we need to get the races in. So we just try to do the best we can. I think we have three triple-headers in a row. That’s pretty much, I think, the limit.

So here’s the thing about pranks in the @IMS bus lot…the list of potential culprits can be extensive. But one thing is for certain, once I find out who it is, payback is going to be a painful lesson. pic.twitter.com/HdjiCN3aUc
