‘The race was over’ – Max Verstappen frustrated as late VSC prevents McLaren attack in Sao Paulo Sprint
“I think the pace was quite strong,” said Verstappen, who could not make his way past Piastri when the VSC ended and was subsequently noted for a potential minimum time infringement under the caution.
“We just had to be patient, because in the beginning, we were just stuck in a DRS train. We couldn’t really do much, we just had to wait for people to either drop off or make a mistake.
“We hung in there, eventually I could pass Charles and close the gap to the McLarens, but then of course unfortunately the VSC came out – and that was race over.”
Perez, meanwhile, added one more point to Red Bull’s tally after a battling race that saw him go wheel-to-wheel with RB driver Liam Lawson for the second successive weekend.
