The dramatic race weekend at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace Interlagos delivered high tension as Max Verstappen was forced into a monumental recovery drive from the back of the grid following a power unit change. Despite producing an astonishing charge through the field to secure second place in a chaotic wet-weather Brazilian Grand Prix, the star driver of Red Bull Racing openly shouldered the blame for a costly error when the lights went out.
While the Milton Keynes-based squad has struggled with sluggish getaway launches throughout the Formula 1 season, the reigning four-time world champion refused to point fingers at team procedures for his poor start off the line.
"To be honest, I had a very slow reaction time off the line because I was holding the clutch wrong, so I had to react very quickly. Then I was slow off the line, and that was my mistake," the Dutchman candidly admitted in the post-race press conference, as reported by Crash.net.
Despite dropping valuable ground amid early-lap traffic jams, the RB22 quickly came alive as the track evolved, allowing the Red Bull ace to slice through the midfield pack with remarkable pace before ultimately chasing home race winner Lando Norris at the checkered flag.
Even with the euphoria of a stunning podium finish from 21st on the grid, technical concerns remain inside the Red Bull garage regarding handling balance on slick tyres, prompting an immediate investigation ahead of the final rounds of the championship.
