MAX was very angry and said : This is so f@cking stupid !!!
But why MAX said that ?
Well ... the pit crew tried to change my tires while my car was on fire !  |
Leave the conspiracy theories out. It's motor racing. - cars and technology can fail.
Earlier today Verstappen and Hamilton were unfortunate.
We're spoilt nowadays that reliability has increased.
In 1981 and 1982 Prost was getting closer to getting a WDC title with Renault (1981: P5 with a 7-point difference to WDC Piquet | 1982: P4 with a 10-point difference to WDC Keke Rosberg) ...despite an
approx. 50% DNF rate for Prost (1981: 9 DNFs out of 15 races | 1982: 9 DNFs and 1 DNC out of 16 races). Renault engine unreliability was a massive handicap for Prost those days. Renault were the pioneers of turbo engines, but struggled to master reliability. Nevertheless, Prost "Le Professeur" still managed to contend for the WDC.
