The start of the Formula 1 season should have been so beautiful for Max Verstappen, but it turned into a nightmare. No points for the Dutchman during the first Grand Prix of 2020.
The race was barely underway or we could already record the first dropout of 2020. Unfortunately it was Verstappen, who didn't make any progress with his Red Bull. It's still not entirely clear who the problem is. Red Bull Racing, however, seems to indicate that it comes from Honda.
Not something new
"We're currently investigating it with Honda. If we know more, we'll let you know. At least it's not something we've never seen before. It was a pity though, because Verstappen could have won here today'', says Christian Horner opposite Racefans.net.
It wasn't Red Bull's day at all, which besides Verstappen also saw Alexander Albon fail at the end of the race. The Thai had come into contact with Lewis Hamilton before that, so he didn't miss out on a good result. A weekend to quickly forget for Red Bull.
