Max Verstappen ‘upset with himself’ after Q3 error in Miami
Verstappen suffered an oversteer moment during the high-sp🐈eed section during the first pa𝓰rt of the lap.
The Dutchman abandoned his lap as a result, while 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez claimed provisional pole position ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.
Verstappen left it late - as did the rest of the field - to return to the track for t🍒heir final runs.
However, no one had the chance to improve their times due to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc’🌃s crash which res♉ulted in a red flag and a premature end to Q3.
It means Verstappen will start Sunday’s race from ninth🧔 on the grid, with teammate and championship rival Perez on pole.
Speaking to Sky after the session, Verstappen said: “That was definitely a mistake of mine, trying to put it on the limit and made a mistake, had to abort the lap but then you hav𒈔e to rely on a bit of luck that there’s not going to be a red fl🐼ag.
“It can happen 🦹on a street circui🍒t so just a bit upset with myself.”
It mea﷽ns that Perez could l🧜ead the F1 drivers’ championship for the first time in his career should he convert pole into the win.
Looking ahead to the race, Verstappen conceded “it’s goinꦇg to be tough” to recover, eyeing second as a result.
“It’s going to be tough,” he said. “I made it difficult for myself. Minimum P2.♏
“There are a few cars between us [and Perez].”
