Max Verstappen had a disappointing Italian Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing driver was stuck in a DRS train for a long time and, to make matters worse, he eventually had to drop out due to a problem with the engine. On the onboard radio Verstappen clearly states that he was not happy with the situation.
The Dutchman drove behind Bottas for a very long time and that would only have been the cause of the problems with Honda's power unit. The nine-time Grand Prix winner talks repeatedly about the power unit's temperatures being too high.
