Max Verstappen once again struggled with his RB20 at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. As a result, the Red Bull Racing driver saw his title rival Lando Norris pass him in the race and eventually finished fifth. Afterwards, Verstappen was calm but dissatisfied with his car.

Verstappen: 'My car is very difficult to drive'

"Yes, just very bad again. No speed at all and on the medium tyres more degradation. On the hard tyres it was a bit better, but then I got stuck behind Albon and Lando. Then the brakes overheated, so I took a step back. After that, the speed did get a bit better relative to the lead, but my car is very difficult to drive," Verstappen told Viaplay.
"During qualifying I already noticed that the things we had added to the car didn't work at all. I couldn't brake at all, I couldn't attack corners either. A wheel came off the ground all the time, so every time in all the slow corners, I was bouncing in all directions. It was like a go-kart," Verstappen added.
Ultimately, Norris caught up with Verstappen and was much faster than the Dutchman. "I had no chance at all. That's also because everything was against us and it didn't run like clockwork," concluded the three-time world champion.
