Some interesting quotes from Max:

"I think I learned a lot from the race in Baku how to do some things with the car, how to set it up," Verstappen told reporters at Zandvoort.

"Of course I didn't win that race in Baku but I actually really tried a lot of stuff and different tools in the car and that's why throughout the race it was a little bit inconsistent but at one point I got into a good rhythm with what I found.

"Then I damaged my tyres a bit too much but I was like 'OK, that's quite interesting for the next races' and I basically implemented that and it has helped me on every track," added Verstappen.

Would love to know how much of this has been shared with Perez.

I guarantee you rival teams will have already gone back over all the available info from that race to see if they can learn anything here and spoiler, they and Checo haven't. Either what Max learned is unique to the car and suits a style he can drive or there really isn't much here - I really question a driver saying these things if it would mean losing a competitive advantage.
