The Red Bull driver resisted a late charge from former title rival 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton to claim his 50th career victory in𒆙 Sunday’s race at Austin.
But it was not🅷 all plain sailing f𝄹or Verstappen, who encountered issues with his braking in the closing stages of the race.
On Lap 34, he was heard telling race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase: “Mate, thes🀅e brakes are so **** compared to yesterday. What a piece🍰 of ****.”
Seven laps later, things got heated between the pair after Lambiase informed Verstappen of where he was losing time to teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez.
“Just info at this stage Max but time loss to Checo 39.8, braking 11, 12, 20,” Lambiase said, before Verstappen fired back: “Yeah I know myꦓ brakes are just ****.”
“As I say, it was just inꦬformation,” came Lambiase’s reply.
Verstappen became increasingly flustered in the last few laps as the problem appeared to 🦋worsen.
When to🌄ld he was matching Hamilton’s pace, the three-time world champion said: “Please, no talking! I’m in the braking.”

“It was just something very weird because normally I don’t have issues with braking. So this is just something𓄧 that we need to understand, because when you are locking fronts and rears you are killing also your tyres, so that definitely didn’t help.
“Yesterday [Saturday], the feeling I had with the car was really amazing. And todaಞy [Sunday], it was not that🔥 great. But nevertheless we still won the race, so that's the most important.
“And talking on the braking, when you're struggling already under braking and you don't feel that confident, I politely asked to not be spoken to. I said please when I ask💮ed!”
