‘Broken’ Max Verstappen left with back pain from bumpy Imola F1 track

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen says Imola’s bumpy surface left him fee🧔ling “broken” following his victory at the F1ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver held off a late charge from McL🐎aren’s Lando Norris to return to winning ways at Imola, having bee🅷n defeated by Norris last time out in Miami.
Verstappen, struggling with his hard tyres in the final stint, had to resist late pressure from a charging Norris, who finished less than a second behind the reigning𒆙 world champion at the chequered flag.
While the battle with Norris was intense, Verstappen said the biggest issue he face🍬d was the track 🧸itself.
“I'm just ♓broken from the bumps🍌, to be honest,” Verstappen explained.
“My back, everything is hurting. It's not so much from the physical side of things, b🔯ut just it was so bumpy out ꦦthere.
“Already after like 20 laps, I could really feel my back. So I'm just looking for﷽ward to laying in bed. Maybe take some p✃ainkillers. And a massage, I don't know…”
Asked if hꦺe had a specific pಞroblem in the final stint, Verstappen replied: “I just couldn't really get the tyres to work.
“It just felt like they were not operating in the right temperature window. And that just got worse and worse. So the last 15 laps for me w🏅as really like driving on iꦯce.
“They were not responding anymore. So that's something that we have to analyse🍎.”
Verstappen also had t꧟o ensure he made no mistakes after being pinged with a black and wh𝓀ite flag warning for track limits.
One more excursion beyond the white lines 🍰would have resulted in a t⛄ime penalty that would have ultimately cost the Dutchman the win.
“They [Red Bull] updated me, of course, with the꧑ track limits, to just be a bit more careful from that point onward♑s,” he said.
“But the problem was also, I guess, in the beginning, I was understeeri💦ng a lot on the Medium, and that was pushing me a bit off sometimes if I missed the apex. So after that, on the Hard tyres also, just leaving a bit more 🍷margin.
“Of course, ♍the last few laps when Lando was catching me it was a bit harder because I had to naturally really use the track as much as I could.
“But we stayed within the li💫nes, but definitely, it does require a bit more focus, of course. Every exit, you have to be really sure what yo𓂃u're doing.”
