The Dutchman came into the weekend with a slim chance of sealing the 2022 world championsh🌟ip after five consecutive victories, but those hopes quickly faded when a fuel error from Red Bull in qualifying left him eighth oꦛn the grid. 

Verstappen made a torrid start to Sunday’s race but eventually recovered to finish seventh after a lock-up while attempting to pass McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris forced him to make an unscheduled pit s♊top. 

Despite the disappointment, Verstappen is still on course t🍒o win the championship at the next race in Japan. 

“It is just a very frustrating weekeꦆnd,” he told reporters on Sunday night. 

“I can of course s𝔍ay it doesn’t matter, we have five races left and we have a big lead, but I want to have a good weekend every singlꦅe time and we had a really terrible weekend. 

“It s൩tarted, o▨f course, yesterday with the big f--- up in qualifying.” 

Asked if he can tak♌e some pleasure from his on-track battles, Verstappen replied: “Zero. This is🌟 not what I enjoy.” 

Verstappen was furious after Red Bull’s qualifying blunder and left the track early on Saturday night as💛 he skipped the team debr😼ief. 

But th𒈔e 25-year-old dismissed suggestions he was trying to make a statement to his team. 

“It’s not about making a statement, it is just how I feel,” he stressed. “It woul𒁏dn’t 𒆙have been much use to talk.”

Verstappen revealed hitting th🅺e anti-stall during his start was the reason behind his poor getaway. 

“I dropped the clutch and hit anti-stall, so I need to analyse why that happened, but then of course you lose a lot of spots,ꦬ” he explained to Sky Sports. 

"From there, I tried to pass a few people, some worked, but then you get🌱 stuck in a little bit of a train. Everyone has their tyres up to temperature, so it's really hard to follow.

"🉐Then of course we were a bit lucky, some people had a few mistakes.

"We were in fifth, tried to go for fourth to pass🐻 Lando and as soon as I got alongside him I braked, not even late, but I bottomed out because I was struggling already a lot there with bottoming and being offline it was probably even more bumpy.

“So as soon as I braked, the front wheels jumped into the aꦆir, and that was it, I just went straight on.

"🧸I had to box again because of the massive vibrations, put new tyres on and come from last back into the points.

"It's not where we want to be, but it already of course starts from yesterday [Saturday], you put you𒁃rself in a spot like that and it can either work brilliantly, you can drive back to the front, or it's very frustrating, like we had.”
