There appeared to be an issue with his engine oil or hydraulic fluid as Verstappen was forced to retire for the second race this season. After the race Verstappen said: ” We are already miles behind so I don’t even want to think about the championship at the moment – it’s more important to finish races. “Not even being able to finish the race is frustrating and unacceptable. “I knew there was a problem, there was always going to be a question mark of finishing the race. “Desperately frustrating, as Max said we didn’t have the pace to race, Leclerc was in a league of his own but frustrating not to be bagging those points.”.
