Martin Brundle has delivered an insight into what Max Verstappen meant when he stated he was suffering from \u201ccar degradation\u201d during the Hungarian Grand Prix.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Verstappen was heard over the team radio complaining about his car during the race, despite being able to run towards the front of the field.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Dutchman crossed the line in second place to match his season-best result, having gained a spot late on when Lewis Hamilton made a late pit stop under the virtual safety car.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Earlier in the race, he was locked in battle with the Ferrari driver and made an eye-opening overtake into Turn 1.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
At the time, Verstappen suggested Hamilton was not being fair in the braking zone, but Brundle shut down such concerns.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cMax Verstappen spent much of the race complaining about aerodynamic degradation, poor handling, and inconsistent gear shifting with his Red Bull, but would finish in a fine second place after some impressive overtakes on Hamilton’s Ferrari,\u201d he wrote in his column for Sky F1.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cMax thought Lewis was a bit tough on him in the braking zone, but he wasn’t.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
After the race, Verstappen attracted attention for a comment he made about his car, stating it was degrading throughout the event.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Explaining what he meant by the remark, Brundle stated: \u201cIt was explained to me that if the Red Bull has any damage on the aero parts particularly underneath the car, on an aggressive kerb for example, this has a disproportionate effect on the overall downforce and so grip.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cHence Max’s aero degradation comment.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Martin Brundle has delivered an insight into what Max Verstappen meant when he stated he was suffering from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":829566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-829565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=829565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/829565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/829566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=829565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=829565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=829565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
