United States Grand Prix pole was in the grasp of Max Verstappen, until it was not...
Max Verstappen is ready to have some “fun” in Austin after a track limits violation dumped him out of pole position and down to P6.
And Verstappen seemingly had done enough as he went 0.005s clear of Charles Leclerc, though then the nervous wait began to learn of whether he had breached track limits at Turn 19.As it turned out, Verstappen had gone beyond the white line and so lost that time, meaning he would instead be forced to settle for a P6 grid slot.
“I didn’t even understeer, I just tried to really maximise the corner and I misjudged it by a little bit. It’s very fine margins when you’re pushing to the limit. It was a bit unfortunate, but it makes the Sunday also a bit more fun.”Verstappen secured his status as a three-time World Champion last time out in Qatar, following-up on his P2 in the sprint with the Grand Prix victory as he now chases a record-equalling 15th grand prix win of the season in Austin.
