Verstappen, from dream to wall Max Verstappen was about to create another masterpiece, but the gap between success and disaster in F1 is razor-thin. And this time the four-time world champion was on the wrong side. At the Red Bull Ring, the Dutch driver hit the wall at the penultimate corner of the lap, which may 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 concerned with the indecision in race direction that caused rival George Russell to take pole position. He doesn’t like RB22’s moody and unpredictable behavior and is as outspoken as ever. “I think I’ll go to Tibet at the end of the year and rest like Buddha,” Verstappen joked into the Telegraaf microphones. “I have to count to 10, and sometimes to a hundred, before I talk about these very complex machines. I didn’t push too hard, such a moment can happen all the time and you can always fix it, but this time the machine was completely out of control.” “Very strange things are happening, I really don’t know what happened on the last lap. I had a lot of oversteer in Turn 6, which was already strange and I lost some time there. I knew I had some margin in the last sector. I veered to the inside and the car completely lost its trajectory, I couldn’t even try to correct it. We need to check the rear wing, see if it closed at the right time, because it looked like a really weird accident.”
