Dutch Red Bull driver Max Verstappen said tyre wear prevented him from challenging the Red Bull driver Lando Norris for winning the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix.
Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday, with season leader Verstappen second, losing more than 22 seconds to the Briton.
“We just weren’t fast enough, but I didn’t expect that.” I had a good start and led for a few laps, but in the end I couldn’t keep up the pace. The tires gave out and I just didn’t have enough speed. Once I managed to defend my position, the second time I couldn’t do anything.
I just wasn’t fast enough. I couldn’t push and at the same time I had problems with oversteer. It’s a question of balance, the tyres wear too much, but that’s been happening lately. There’s just not enough balance in the car. Of course, the atmosphere here is always great. It’s a positive moment of the day, Verstappen is quoted as saying. GP Blog .
Verstappen leads the standings, his lead over second-placed Norris reduced to 70 points. The next round of the championship, the Italian Grand Prix, runs from August 30 to September 1.
