Max Verstappen is clearly not happy after finishing third in qualifying for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. The Dutchman was beaten by his teammate for the first time in a long time, with Sergio Perez set to start from the front row of the grid alongside Lewis Hamilton.
The last time Verstappen was beaten by a teammate, was in the period with Daniel Ricciardo. In Imola, the Dutchman seemed to be the biggest challenger to Hamilton, but Perez eventually managed to set a faster time. Immediately after qualifying, the top three drivers were allowed to give their opinions on qualifying and Verstappen was clearly annoyed with the result.
