Max Verstappen owns up to rare unseen error at Brazil GP
Follow
Max Verstappen admitted responsibility for a sluggish start at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix after mishandling his clutch during the race launch. Despite dropping back initially from his twenty-first grid position, the Red Bull driver carved through the midfield during a rainy contest to secure a second-place finish behind Lando Norris.
Following the grand prix, the four-time world champion revealed that an improper clutch setup caused his delayed reaction off the line. Verstappen also expressed frustration with severe oversteer and an unbalanced vehicle handling profile once he transitioned to slick tires, noting that the machinery felt significantly better when switched back to intermediate compounds near the conclusion of the event.
