Max Verstappen's focus on Formula 1 is questioned after the triple-world champion suffers a frustrating race in Hungary.
Max Verstappen was left frustrated after finishing fifth at the Hungarian Grand Prix , believing his team made a bad pit strategy decision.Formula 1 heads to the Belgian Grand Prix next weekend, with Verstappen's lead in the drivers' championship down to 76 points.
The Dutchman never looked comfortable in his car, as Red Bull realised the dominant advantage they enjoyed over McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari last year was gone. Verstappen has taken part in simulator races in the past, but with the competition in F1 currently so close, former world champion Nico Rosberg questioned whether Verstappen was taking the challenge as seriously as he needed to.
Verstappen, despite insisting he was forced wide by Norris, was told by his team to give the position back to the McLaren driver to avoid a penalty. The tension between the two could be cut with a knife after Verstappen, trying to overtake Hamilton for third, broke late and locked his tyres, which led to both cars coming together and the Red Bull vehicle becoming airborne.ABC Sport Daily is your daily sports conversation.
