‘Fundamental’ Red Bull kerb-riding issue made Max Verstappen’s car “like a go-kart”
Max Verstappen explains Red Bull's kerb-riding woes during F1 qualifyin💎g in Monaco.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen says Red Bull’s kerb-riding weakness left him feeling like he was driving a “go-kart” during F1 Monaco Grand Prix qualifying.
Reigning world champion Verstappe🐭n missed the chance to claim a record-breaking pole position and could only qualify sixth-fasteꦫst after striking the barrier with his final lap of Q3.
Verstappen and teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez, who was knoc🐷ked out in Q1 in 18th, have both struggled with the handling of their cars all weekend, with the Red Bull losing time over Monaco’s bumps and kerbs෴.
“We tried a lot oꦇf things on the car, literally nothing made it better, so you’re just stuck,” Verstappen explained.
“Not much you can do. We really tried to optimise it but at one point when you’re stuck with that… you can see in the second sector we ar🐬e so bad.
“Just because I can’t touch any kerbs as it just upsets the ca🅘r too much, just lose a 🀅lot of lap time and incredibly difficult.”
Verstappen added: “We wen🐼t soft, stiff, everything, but the car is like a go-kart, i🏅t’s like I’m running without suspension.

“It’s jump🧔ing around a lot, not absorbing any kerb ꦺstrikes or bumps or camber changes. The last corner I think the amount of times I just jumped almost into the wall is really incredible.
“It’s also not something new. We’ve had this problem since 2022 of course for the last years we had a car advantage and it g✤ets masked a little bit.
“But with everyone catching up naturally ﷺwhen you’re not improving your weakest point you get found out and that’s what happened th✃is weekend.”
Verstappen admitted t♏he issue is a "fundamental problem" and "not something that will be fixed within we⛄eks”.
“First of all we need to understand what it⭕ is because we clearly don’t understand it,” he said.
“But we’ll work hard to try and find the problem and then of♈ course try to get rid of it. I don’t know if we can do it this year but hopefully for next year.”
Asked what is pos﷽sible in Sunday’s grand prix, Verstappen replied: “F*** knows.
“I mean I’m pushing flat out, the car is just super tricky. Went into T👍urn 1, suddenly I go over the bumps and it just snaps on you.
“There’s nothing that was a big mistake but the car is literally on an knife-edge to drive, it i📖s what it is.”
