“That wasn't agreed beforehand. I don't really understand why that happened.”

Max Verstappen, read out by James, at 2:57 of “Fury As Penalty Issued, Verstappen Irritated At Red Bull, Alonso Calls Out 'Low Quality' Drivers” on James' Pit Lane’s channel.

Around it

  1. 2:38 called out Red Bull strategy calls. During the Grand Prix, Verstappen ended up doing a two-stop strategy. He started on the softs, went to another set of soft tyres, before ending on the mediums. But
  2. 2:49 Verstappen insisted that was not agreed, with Verstappen telling Viaplay, as quoted by Racing News 365, "I've had more enjoyable
  3. 2:57 races. Not that much really went well. The start wasn't good, and neither was the way we handled the tyre choice. Soft, soft, medium. That wasn't agreed beforehand. I don't really understand why that
  4. 3:07 happened. I also had too many problems with the engine." But that was already the case in qualifying, just really inconsistent. And going back to the strategy, Verstappen also pointed to the pace of
  5. 3:17 the hard compound, which he never got a chance to use, with Verstappen going on to say, "They didn't put that on my car. That's not what we'd agreed. Everyone immediately
  6. 3:26 knows you're doing a two-stopper once you switch back to softs. We'd agreed on the medium, but I need to have a word about it. No idea why it happened that way." But let's move on to Fernando Alonso.
