Max Verstappen had an excellent race on the circuit of Imola. He probably had the speed to fight for victory and managed to pass Valtteri Bottas nicely for P2. Soon after, his rear tyre suddenly burst.
Engineer knows immediately
At that moment, Verstappen is just talking to his engineer. He is quietly finishing a story when he hears the unmistakable sound of a gravel tray in the background.
Engineer: "You're off..."
Verstappen: "Something about the car broke down."
Engineer: "Yes, it's a blowout from the right rear tyre."

Verstappen: "For fuck sake..."
He's shouting, but it's no use. It's bad luck. This is something he, the team or another driver can't do anything about and Verstappen seems to be resigned to it.
