Verstappen problem in full classification!

He was Paul’s favorite. With his Red Bull on another planet, Max was aiming for the top spot in his F1 Saudi Grand Prix qualifying. But as fate would have it, Max added no more poles to his record. Even the unbeatable machine has its problems, evidenced by the reigning world champion’s unexpected setback in the middle of Q2. He had a problem with his RB19’s bearings and had to exit ‘qualifying’ by moving into the box without setting a time. Max Verstappen should return from his 15th position on the grid this Sunday.

He thus left teammate ‘Czech’ Perez as the big favorite for pole position, giving free positions to Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz. Alonso was in the lead at the time and was in a difficult pole position battle with Perez’s Red Bull on the straight, but he was clearly aiming for second place. Just like Carlos Sainz, we had some issues in Q2 to keep the tire temperatures right.

Verstappen: “Hamilton didn’t follow the rules”

Max Verstappen has weathered all the dangers to his win from the various crashes at the Australian GP, ​​voiced his doubts about the second red flags and blamed Lewis Hamilton for the way he overtook him on the first lap of the Melbourne race .

Max Verstappen won the Australian GP for the first time with a dominant performance: the RB19’s huge performance gap compared to the Mercedes allowed it to confidently win the 3rd Formula 1 race of the year despite beating the top two places to George Russell lost Lewis Hamilton.

However, the second red flag of the race – Kevin Magnussen’s crash – gave the Dutchman a hard time as, with three laps to go, he shattered the eight-second lead he had built up in the lead.

Chaos ensued during the subsequent restart when a total of six cars collided behind him and the race was stopped a third time – only to end a few moments later after a lap behind the safety car.

“I think you can decide the first red flag, but I don’t quite understand the second.” said Verstappen after the end of the Melbourne GP. “So it was a bit messy. But we got through it all. We had a good basis for the car again today and of course we won, that’s the most important thing.”

Meanwhile, the champion also expressed his displeasure at how Hamilton passed him at Turn 3 on the first lap, taking advantage of the Dutchman’s somewhat poor start: “For my part, I tried to avoid contact. The regulations are clear about what you are allowed to do [προσπερνώντας] from the outside, but it is clear that they were not followed.

“But it’s okay, we had good pace and still passed them. But we have to take that into account for the next games.”concluded the Dutchman.
