Max Verstappen is “angry” and “frus🥀trated” but has been told that his woes will worsen if Red Bull’s problems continue into nex💫t year.

The F1 champion started this season as dominant as he ended last year, but his RB20 has experien🐼ced a shocking slump at recent r𒅌ounds.

Now unusually winless in six rounds and with his drivers’ championship lead shrinking, Verstappen’s travails at last weekend’s I🐻talian Grand Prix have been debated.

“For team morale it’s awful to finish 37 seconds behind the race leader, with your teamma♏te a further two places and 13 seconds further 🃏back,” Natalie Pinkham told the Sky F1 podcast.

“This was a race where he took his 10th cons🅘ecutive win last year. What a difference a year makes.

“For Max, the frustration will be if 🐲a disconnect between him and th💯e team emerges.

“If he’s giving feedback to the team, as early as China, saying ‘we are going down the wrong route, there ar🍸e fundamental problems with this car’ then you can’t expect to iron those out.

“It’s gone from dominant to a monste꧒r in less than half a ♊season. It must be frustrating for him.

“He’s not used to not winning, so he’s digging deep. He is taking great results, like Zandvoort, in spite o🍬f the car, not because of the c𓃲ar.

“We are seeing a different type o༒f drive from Verstappen. He is digging deep, doing the best he can with one arm behind his back, with limited machinery.

“We are learning about him as a driver but ꧙he will g𒊎et frustrated.

“The really worrying thing is if this inevitably ca𒈔rries on into 2025.”

'You see him getting angry a lot'

After doubt amid Red Bull’s internal chaos - which engulfed Ch⛎ristian Horner, Jos Verstappen and Helmut Marko - Verstappen has committed to stayi🐭ng with the team next season.

But, Mercedes’ Toto Wolff has not stopped mention🔥ing Verst𝐆appen as a possible future target.

For now, Nico Rosberg has noticed the visible anger displaye꧙d b🌳y Verstappen.

“He will be shocked. You can see him getting angry a lot. After the slow pitstop in Monza he was hitting the steering w❀heel in the race,” Rosberg said.

“He is getting angry and impatien𒉰t because he is only used to winning.

🦹“The whole team is impatient, the stress levels rise and the panic rises.

“It’s𒉰 frustrating because they don’t know what’s going on, they don’t understand.

“In Zandvoort they still finished second fair and square. 🌱They had a good car, only beaten by Lando.

“Monza is a complete outlier so we shouldn’t focus too much on the perfor꧑mance deltas.

“Although, all the tracks co♌m🐎ing up are outliers - Baku, Singapore…

“I still think heဣ can race for second-place, maybe the odd win, in the next couple of races.”

Verstappen’s lead🤪 in the drivers’ standings has been cut to 62 points by Lando Norris.

Red Bℱull lead McLaren by just eight points in the constructors’.
