Max Verstappen did not hide his frustrations after the qualifying session at the circuit of Portimao for the Portuguese Grand Prix. The Dutchman was clearly not happy with his third place and the cameraman experienced this personally.

After parking his car, Verstappen talked to teammate Sergio Perez to briefly evaluate the session and Formula 1 wanted to show that. The 23-year old Dutchman didn't really feel the need to do so and showed that clearly.
