Max Verstappen has expressed concern that the technical issue which halted his running in FP2 at Formula 1’s Canadian Grand Prix could have further “implications”. The Dutchman was among several drivers to post a lap on slicks once track conditions had dried up in the opening practice session to round out the top five runners. […]
During the opening practice session, the Dutch driver managed to secure a top-five finish after switching to slick tires when the track dried up. Unfortunately, his participation in the rain-interrupted second practice was cut short due to an Energy Recovery System issue that caused smoke to emanate from his car. Verstappen, who was forced to return to the pits after just four laps, expressed concern about the potential impact of the problem on the rest of the season. His Red Bull teammate, Sergio Perez, finished 10th in the later practice session but acknowledged the difficulty in drawing conclusions from the varied weather conditions. With more rain expected at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, timing will be crucial in securing a good position during qualifying for the upcoming race.
