Max Verstappen’s accident was a major blemish on what has so far been a positive Australian Grand Prix.
Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies expressed concern over Max Verstappen’s qualifying crash at the Australian Grand Prix, leaving him starting from the 20th position and facing a challenge for a good season opener.
Verstappen’s rear brakes locked, causing him to crash into a barrier, adding to his frustration with the new F1 cars, making his experience joyless.
