‘Swear word’ went through Max Verstappen’s head during Eau Rouge scare at F1 Belgian GP

The Red Bull driver overcame a grid penalty at Spa-Francorchamps as he stormed to an eighth consecutive victory to extend his championship lead over teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez to 125ဣ points heading into the summer break.
Verstappen was in imperious form as he might light work of his comeback charge, though he did have a fright when he had a big wobble through the h🐼igh-s𝄹peed Eau Rouge corner as light rain fell mid-way through the race.
The Dutchman managed to collect his car through the flat-out swerves and was untroubled from there as he claimed his 10th victory from 12 races so far this seas🅺on.
Speaking after Sꦓunday’s race, the two-time world champion explained: “The rain 🏅was just moving around on the track. Sometimes it was increasing in other places from lap to lap.

“I just got up there and it probably 🀅just rained a bit h🦩arder when I was on the other side of the track in Eau Rouge, and I got there and it just caught me out. It was a bit more slippery than I thought it would be.
“It happened quickly. Trying to correct it, sometimes of course it works, sometimes it doesn’t. And at that speed as well, you have quite a bit of downforce on the car 📖that helps.
“But it was not great. We did have to save a bit but it’s always a 🌞combination of things throughout the race when you’re saving.
“That’s probably not the best place to go sideways but luckily nothing happened. Of c🌞ourse also with the changes through there, you have a little bit more run-off. But it’s still not a nice corner to have a moment.”
Asked what he w༺as thinking as he went sideways, Verstappen replied: “A swear word”.
🦩Indeed, a relieved Verstappen reported over team radio at the time: **** I nearly lost it".
