F1 fans online shared their reactions to Max Verstappen's spin during the F1 Hungarian GP qualifying, with many critical of the Dutchman for losing control of his Red Bull. He ended the session in P6 after losing control of his RB22 at the final corner on his final lap in Q3.
Verstappen wasn't improving on his earlier time anyway on his final flying lap in Q3 at the Hungaroring, but wasn't even able to complete the lap as he lost control of his car around Turn 14 and even caused a yellow flag. This was also followed by an angry message over the team radio as the 28-year-old blamed the car for the incident, saying that the whole weekend has been a poor one.
But F1 fans online criticized Max Verstappen for his spin, as they shared their reactions to the incident.
Here are some more reactions:
This moment also meant that both Mercedes drivers, Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, were caught up by the yellow flags in the final corner. While Antonelli improved a little bit on his time, he still did not get into the top 3. Russell, on the other hand, failed to improve and ended the session in P7, before stopping himself at the end of the main straight due to an issue.
Dutch journalist Erik van Haren has reported that Max Verstappen's media commitments following the Hungarian GP qualifying were cut short by Red Bull Racing. The driver, who was extremely critical of the team and his car on Saturday, was taken out early from his media duties for a reported team meeting.
But even in the shorter period that Verstappen spoke to the media, he made his feelings clear, stating that he has been hindered by a different issue on his car every weekend.
Verstappen also had other harsh words to say about the RB22, saying that the team is struggling from "car degradation" rather than tyre degradation. He even explained that the car got increasingly worse as the qualifying session went on.
