Max Verstappen: I drove out of the pits and had no power

Speaking about the incident after the qualifying session, Verstappen revealed that he did not have any power as soon as he made his way out of the pits and there was still a lack of clarity in terms of what went wrong.

He said:

“I don’t know exactly what happened, I drove out of the pits and there was no release and no power in the car, we couldn’t fix it. We tried everything we could whilst out on the track, I‘ll have a chat with the Team and I hope that everything is fixable."

"It’s frustrating to start in P10 tomorrow after such a positive qualifying, we looked competitive and we had good pace. Although we have a slight point advantage, you always want to start at the front, it’s difficult to overtake here and get through the traffic so we’ll have to be patient. Tomorrow is definitely going to be an interesting one.”

Verstappen starting in P10 will surely open up quite a few possibilities for the race and it will be interesting to see if the Red Bull driver can salvage a strong result for the team.
