Verstappen: 'Absolutely crap'

Afterwards, Verstappen was unapologetic about his own race. "It was just another dramatic race. Nothing was running, the car was not running at all. I didn't like the strategy at all, and the pit stop was absolutely crap. We had to drive with less power, so basically everything went wrong," said a disgruntled Dutchman.
Verstappen was also unhappy about the strategy. "Where we drove didn't matter anyway. But you still try to drive your best race, but with our two-stoppers that was definitely not the case. On both hard and medium tyres we were too slow."
Verstappen then went on to say much further: "The way things are going, we are not going to win any more races, but it is what it is." Verstappen is currently still at the top of the standings with a wide lead over Lando Norris.
