Verstappen had more problems besides dropping out: 'That was worthless'
Max Verstappen closed the Australian Grand Prix very disappointingly. Where he stayed in second place for a long time behind Charles Leclerc, he had to drop out within forty laps with engine problems. Afterwards he spoke to Viaplay .
The reigning world champion had almost no words for the situation after the race. Indeed, Verstappen had to drop out for the second time this season, as he also had problems in Bahrain. "That is indeed very bad. I don't know what to make of it at the moment, but there's a lot of work to be done," Verstappen let it be known.
The driver did not yet dare to say where the problems of his failure lay. "We don't know ourselves yet either. We'll get the car back soon and then we'll see. But of course two retirements in three races."
Verstappen unhappy with wear
Verstappen, however, also did not have a happy race behind him. Leclerc in fact turned out to be too fast, so he seemed to have to settle for second place. "On both tires I think I had too much wear, so I had to manage my tires to finish the race. That sucked too."
"We're already miles behind."
