Verstappen Criticizes Red Bull Car After Italian Grand Prix Qualifying

Dutch driver Max Verstappen has criticized Red Bull’s car following his performance in the Italian Grand Prix qualifying session.

“This car is very difficult to handle, it's hard to find the right balance. When you fix one issue, another pops up. The second segment wasn’t too bad, but in the third, the car was awful again—I had severe understeer on both sets of tires. I lost a lot of time per lap, couldn’t load the tires properly, and faced serious issues that I don’t quite understand. Our race pace is not promising. When you can’t find the balance, everything in the race becomes challenging. The last few races haven’t been great; we need to turn things around and become competitive,” Verstappen stated in his Sky Sports interview.

The Italian Grand Prix qualifying was won by McLaren’s Lando Norris, with Verstappen finishing in seventh place.
