Max Verstappen has blamed Ferrari, rather than168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton, for their incident in qualifying for the F1 Monaco Grand Prix.

Hamilt🍃on was on a slow lap on the run up the hill in the 🔴first sector in Q1

Ferrari race engineဣer R൩iccardo Adami told him that Verstappen was three seconds behind and on a “slow lap.”

Verstappen was, in fact, on a fast lap bu🃏t was impeded by Ham꧂ilton.

Hamilton has 🌟been hit with a three-place grid penalty for Sunday's race following the stewards' investigation. 

The 2021 F1 title rivals were s♍een in parc ferme talking about it after qualifying.

Speaking to Sky Sports a🌜fter the session, Verstappen didn’t blame Hamilton for the in♓cident.

“At the time you see the car blocking you when you’re there at high-speed it’s not nice let’s say it like that,” Verstappen sai🍸d.

“I saw that the team told him I was driving slow when I was clearly driving fast. It’s not Lewis’ fault. I quickly chatted to⭕ him about it. It’s very simple but of course it can’t happen. That’s the team’s mistake.

“If you look at the history of things, yes, but again it’s moreꦗ the team’s fault but unfortunately in qualifying they’re normally quite strict with these things.”

Verstappen blames Red Bull’s low-speed weakness

It was a disappoin𝓡ting qualifying session f꧅or Verstappen and Red Bull.

Verstappen is set to start Sunday’s race from fifth on the grid after qualifying over 0.7s off McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris.

Verstappen blamed Red Bull’s weakness in slow-speed corners for their underwhelming qu꧅alifying display.

“Mainly in the middle sector,” Verstappen added. “It’s💫 all the low-speed, mechanical grip corners we just didn’t have it. I couldn’t find more lap ℱtime compared to practice really.

“Every time I had to ride a kerbꩲ or throw up a wheel in a cambered corner it didn’t grip up and it just meant we had issues. As soon as I went out in qualifying and I saw the lap time progression I knew we were not in that fight.”

When asked if it was a surprise, he said: “Not really. I know that our car is not very good in lowജ-speed anyway. I think this year✨ already in qualifying it’s always been close between a lot of cars.

“If you’re lacking in feeling or ꦚbalance in those low-speed corners that’s not happening.”
