‘Everything felt bad’ – Max Verstappen puzzled by Red Bull F1 car behaviour
During an underwhelming qualifying at the Austrian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen struggled with problems affecting his Red Bull car. Yellow flags ruined his final run of Q3, leaving him in seventh place after setting only a decent lap for sixth initially. Verstappen described his RB21 as “completely undriveable” due to a lack of grip, impacting his competitiveness for Sunday’s race.
