Despite his fantastic comeback, Max Verstappen appeared irritated about the car’s reliability. A gearbox issue had already forced him to retire in Q2 and had led him to start fifteenth on the grid on Sunday. Climbing up to second place, we could then hear him complaining about a potential transmission problem towards the end of the race.

« I tried to narrow the gap a little, but at one point, I sensed these vibrations on the transmission system at the back. The team couldn’t see anything, but I’m almost sure that there was something weird with the balance since the vibrations started to be felt,” he explains.

Somewhat irritated, he declared in a press conference that he couldn’t be completely satisfied with this performance and that if everyone else on the team was happy, he was not because he is not here to be second.

Following this, Christian Horner, Red Bull’s team principal, and Helmut Marko, advisor, declared that the team would investigate the origin of the issue.

“It’s something we have to understand,” stated Horner, interviewed by RacingNews365.

Helmut Marko supported these statements.

« We need to find out where the vibrations are coming from,” he announced to Sky Sports Germany. « Maybe Max just drove a little more over the curbs than Sergio. But can you still do the fastest lap? We will check all the issues,” he added.
