Van de Grint: "Only Max and Honda know the reason why"

From dream weekend to disaster weekend

It seemed to be a promising weekend, but from the start everything seemed to go wrong. "Max had a very bad start," says Kalff. "We've seen a lot of people starting in second gear. Why didn't Red Bull Racing do that? There may be a technical reason, or they didn't think of it."

"The latter seems unlikely," says Van de Grint. "But only Max and Honda know the reason why. I can't imagine that they forgot. It must have been a technical issue, they probably didn't have a choice".

Something else that went wrong was the front wing that was misaligned during a pit stop of Max Verstappen. "A wing that, certainly on one side, was turned up the wrong way. No matter how that happened, I think it's simply amateurish".
