Max Verstappen may have got pole but was still not happy with the sprint weekend.
Max Verstappen may have taken pole for the Austin sprint but that did not stop him from once again airing his grievances over the format.
His frustrations have only got worse this year with the introduction of the sprint shootout in place of FP2 and even after coming out on top in Texas, Verstappen criticised the “beautiful format” of a sprint weekend.Verstappen had some ground to make up having put himself on the back foot in Sunday’s race following a mistake in qualifying on Friday.
“The problem with this beautiful format is that you can’t really change anything on the car,” he said. “Once you commit to something, you’re stuck with it for the rest of the weekend. “ a lot of corners where things can go wrong but I think the whole morning session basically we were on top of things. So I think that’s positive.”
