Verstappen fed up with the RB22: “I will retire to Tibet at the end of the year, like Buddha”

Verstappen, from the dream to the wall Max Verstappen was about to create another masterpiece, but in F1 the ridge between feat and disaster is very thin. And this time the four-time world champion ended up on the wrong side. At the Red Bull Ring the Dutchman hit the wall in the penultimate corner of a lap that would perhaps have earned him the front row, triggering a chain of events that will be discussed for a long time. Super Max thinks for himself and is not interested in the indecision of the race direction which led to the pole position of his rival George Russell. What he doesn’t like is the peevish and unpredictable behavior of the RB22, and as usual he doesn’t mince his words. Verstappen’s words “I think that at the end of the year I will go to Tibet and relax like Buddha”, he joked to the Telegraaf microphones. “I have to count to ten, sometimes to a hundred, before talking about these very complicated machines. I didn’t push too hard, a moment like this can always happen and you can always correct, but this time the machine was completely out of control.” “Very strange things are happening, I don’t really know what happened on that last lap. I had a lot of oversteer in turn 6, which was already strange, and I lost a bit of time there. I knew I had a bit of margin in that last sector. I steered towards the inside and the car completely lost trajectory, I wasn’t even able to try to correct it. We need to check the rear wing, see if it closed at the right time, because it really seemed a strange accident.”
