Verstappen: "Had some damage to the floor and we couldn't repair it"

Max Verstappen had a difficult start to the weekend. He crashed once and had to do his utmost to set the third-fastest time. Something he eventually failed to do. The Dutchman was far from thrilled with his work.

"It was just a bad day for us, just not a good balance," said the Red Bull Racing driver in conversation with Ziggo Sport. "But the fact that we don't have a grip is actually an even bigger problem."

Are these balance problems perhaps caused by the fact that the 'rake' of the RB16 at Monza is much less? "No, I don't think so. Last year things went well here. At the moment we just don't have the grip, on all four wheels we don't."
