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 action-packed Italian Grand Prix at Monza.&🐼nbsp;
But Verstappen’s run to a 10th straight F1 victory in a row was not all plain-sailing, with♛ the Dutchman revealing he had to manage a problem wi♌th his car.
The two෴-time world champion sa💎id “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 could easily back off,” Verstappen addeꦓ🦩d.
Verstappen was asked to “increase the gap to Gasly” on multiple occasions by race engineer Gianpiero 𝔉Lambiase in what was describedܫ as being “quite an urgent request.”
However, the issue ultimately did not hamper the Dutchman’s bid to make F1 histoꦅry.
Verstappen said he worked to force Sainz i🅰nto 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 exp🌟lained. “I think we were good 𝕴on the tyres, but they had a lot of top speed.
“It was so hard to get close and get a move on into turn one, so I had to fo🐲rce him into a mistake.
“Luckily it came at some point where he locked up and then I had better traction out of turn two and basically from there♋ once we could again do 🍒our own race.
“I was just trying to stay patient. That was still a very long race. I could see they were struggling a lot with a rear tyre, so I ju📖st had to pick my mome🦹nt.”
