Verstappen said Red Bull needs to understand why it struggled for car balance during Sprint Qualifying at Zandvoort. The Red Bull driver, racing at his home event, could only secure sixth on the grid for the Sprint.
According to the reported comments from the opening day, Verstappen had already raised concerns in the only practice session about poor gearshift quality, which has been a recurring issue this season, as well as low grip and an oversteer balance.
The Dutch Grand Prix weekend was also the setting for Verstappen to confirm his renewed commitment to Red Bull until at least 2030, but his Friday on track brought mixed fortunes.
