Max Verstappen endured a difficult session in Sao Paulo and is now set to start the Brazilian Grand Prix from towards the back of the grid.
During qualifying in Brazil, Max Verstappen expressed frustration towards race control after being knocked out in Q2. His 17th place start in the grand prix is a result of both his early exit and engine grid penalty. Verstappen was aiming to improve his lap time when Lance Stroll’s crash brought out the red flag. Despite the opportunity for a second attempt, the session was not resumed, causing Verstappen to miss out. Verstappen criticized the delay in deploying the red flag, calling it “bullshit” and “ridiculous.” His teammate Sergio Perez also faced challenges in qualifying, being eliminated in Q2 but moving up to 11th place due to Verstappen’s penalty.
