The Dutchman came into the weekend with a slim chance of sealing the 2022 world championship after five consecutive victories, but those hopes quickly faded when💮 a fuel error from Red Bull in qualifying left him eighth on the grid. 

Verstappen made a torrid start to Sunday’s race but eventually recovered to finish seventh after a lock-up while attempting to pass McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris forced him to mak🦋e an unscheduled pit stop. 

Despite the disappointment, Verstappen is still on course to win the championship 🦩at the next race in Japan. 

“It is just a ver♛y frustrating weekend,” he told reporters on Sunday n🐲ight. 

“I can of course say it doesn’t matter, we have five races left and we have a big lead, but I want to have a good weekend every single time and we had a really terrible weekend.&🌌nbsp;

“It started, of course, yesterday withꦏ the big f--- up in qualifying.” 

Asked if he can take some pleasure from his on-track battles, Verstappen replied: “Zero. This is not✅ what I enjoy.” 

Verstappen was furious after Red Bull’s qualifying blunder aꦍnd left the track early on Saturday night as he skipped the team debrief. 

But the 25-year-old dismissed▨ sugge♐stions he was trying to make a statement to his team. 

“It’s not about making a statement, it is just how I feel,” he stressed. “It wouldn’t have been muc𒁃h use to talk.”

Versta♎ppen rev🀅ealed hitting the anti-stall during his start was the reason behind his poor getaway. 

“I ♌dropp💦ed the clutch and hit anti-stall, so I need to analyse why that happened, but then of course you lose a lot of spots,” he explained to Sky Sports. 

"From there, I tri♏ed to pass a few people, some worked, but then you get stuck in a little bit of a train. Everyone has their tyres up to temperature, so it's really hard to follow.

"Then of course we were a bit lucky, some people had a 💦few mistakes.

"We wer🍷e in fifth, tried💜 to go for fourth to pass Lando and as soon as I got alongside him I braked, not even late, but I bottomed out because I was struggling already a lot there with bottoming and being offline it was probably even more bumpy.

🐠“So as soon as I braked, the front wheels jum𓆉ped into the air, and that was it, I just went straight on.

"I had to box again because of the massive vibrations, put new tyres on 🍬and come from 💃last back into the points.

"It's not where we want to be, but it already of course starts from yesterday [Saturday], you put yourself i༒n a spot like that and it can either work brilliantly, you ca🌺n drive back to the front, or it's very frustrating, like we had.”
