Max Verstappen made his frustration clear to Red Bull during the second free practice session of the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix. The Dutch driver finished in fourth place but was well off the pace compared with Lewis Hamilton, who led on Friday (24).
The four-time champion was almost 0.7 seconds behind the British Ferrari driver – in fact, Charles Leclerc completed a one-two by finishing second. Moreover, the team impressed with its pace in the race simulation.
As the session drew to a close at the Hungaroring, Verstappen opened up to Gianpiero Lambiase about the issues he had been experiencing with the rear of his RB22.
“My rear axle locked up completely again and is extremely stiff. I think I have a problem. I’m simply losing grip at the rear,” he said over the radio.
