Max Verstappen's late F1 Italian GP scare revealed after “urgent” radio message

The Red Bull driver set a new record for the most consecutive wins in F1 after passing Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz during ❀an actꦦion-packed Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
But Verstappen’s run to a 10th str💛aight F1 victory in a row was not all plain-sailing, with the Dutchman revealing he had to manage a problem with his car.
The 🎉two-time world champion said “everything felt good” for most of Sunday’s race but admitted he “had to nurse a little issue at the end.”
“But we had, luckily, of course, a gap behind so I coul🐬d ea🍃sily back off,” Verstappen added.
Verstappen was asked to “incre🦂ase the gap to G✃asly” on multiple occasions by race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase in what was described as being “quite an urgent request.”
However, the issue ultimately did not hamper the Dutchma💛n’s bid to ma🅰ke F1 history.
Verstappen sai𓆏d he worked to force ✤Sainz into the mistake that ultimately cost the Spaniard the lead on lap 15 when he locked his brakes into the first chicane.
“We had good pace,” he🐻 explained. “I think we were good on the tyres, but the🐲y had a lot of top speed.
“It was so hard to get close and get a move on into tu🉐rn one, so I had to force him into a mistake.
“Luckily it came at🧸 some point where he locked up and then I had better tܫraction out of turn two and basically from there once we could again do our own race.
“I was just t🔯rying to stay patient. That was still a very long race. I could see they were struggling a lot with a rear tyre, so I just had to pick my💞 moment.”
