Verstappen Downbeat After ‘Really Tough’ Qualifying
Verstappen said the car kept oversteering and became undriveable as Red Bull’s aerodynamic problems worsened through qualifying.
- Red Bull driver Max Verstappen qualified sixth for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix after spinning at the final corner during Q3, ending his bid to challenge pole-sitter Lando Norris of McLaren.
- Aerodynamic issues caused the car to deteriorate during qualifying, leading to uncontrollable oversteer as Verstappen told the team, "The car is just completely broken aerodynamically, it's just getting worse and worse."
- Struggling with balance, Verstappen noted the car became "undriveable" while navigating corners, adding, "Instead of the tyres degrading, your car is degrading."
- Though Red Bull reintroduced its rotating rear wing this weekend, Verstappen remains uncertain if it caused the issues, telling media, "I first need to look into the data myself."
- Team principal Laurent Mekies had hoped the Hungaroring circuit would suit the RB22 better; Verstappen will start Sunday's race alongside teammate Isack Hadjar, who lines up eighth.
