Max Verstappen directed his anger towards Red Bull in a foul-mouthed radio rant after F1 teammate Sergio Perez impacted one of his qualifying laps.
The newly-crowned three-time world champion caught Perez at the final corner at the Circuit of the Americas during his first run of Q3, and was left only third-fastest after getting stuck in his teammate’s dirty air.“Well done, well f****** done there!” Verstappen angrily shouted.Things would get even worse for Verstappen on a scrappy final lap littered by uncharacteristic errors.
Despite running too wide through the first corner, Verstappen appeared to snatch pole position away from Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc by 0.005s, only to fall foul of track limits at Turn 19."I knew in Turn 19 that it was going to be a close call," Verstappen explained."I didn't even understeer, I just tried to maximise the corner and I misjudged it by a little bit.
“It's very fine margins when you are pushing to the limit. It's unfortunate but it makes Sunday more fun."
