Usual Max Verstappen furious: harsh attack on F1 from Interlagos
Once again, analysis è dominated by anger.
Max Verstappen big disappointment in qualifying for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, which he will face starting from seventeenth position due to a five-position penalty added to the twelfth place he got on track because of the rain at Interlagos, but also a red flag that denied him the last attempt to enter Q3. And the Red Bull driver once again lashed out at the entire Formula 1.
The Interlagos qualifying session, heavily affected by rain and accidents, featured as many as five red flag stops. Decisive in negative for Verstappen it è proved to be the one procured by Lance Stroll, but exposed before the conclusion of the lap of Charles Leclerc and Liam Lawson. A decision that demoted the Dutchman from 10th to 12th place.
"If a car has an accident and hits the flags you have to show the red flag immediately. I don't understand why they take 30-40 seconds" instead,'Verstappen thundered to the microphones of the British newsroom of 'Sky Sports'. He then gave an even more colorful judgment to the episode, aimed at F1 decision-makers.
"When we came out at the end, everyone on the track was ahead of us. One car è ended up against the barriers, and those who were behind è had to stop for the red flag. But everyone in front finished the lap. The fact that something like that is possible, in my opinion, è unbelievable. And now I really don’t know what race to imagine", concluded Verstappen. That on the one hand he is trembling over the pole position of title rival Lando Norris, on the other hand he seems not to want to stop his personal war with Formula 1 that began several weeks ago.
