World champion reckons his pace while recovering up the order from his engine-change grid penalty was good enough to have been fighting for Spa victory from a better starting spot
Max Verstappen insists he and Red Bull could have been Formula 1 2024 Belgian Grand Prix victory contenders, had he started from higher up the grid at Spa. Verstappen topped qualifying for the fourth year in a row in Belgium, but for the third successive race at the venue he had to drop down the grid as a result of penalties for changing car parts beyond those allowed in the rules – having needed a fifth internal combustion unit of the 2024 campaign.
“Of course, looking at the championship it was still a positive day – I extended my lead, where it could have also easily been calculating losses. So, from that side of course, it's a positive day.” Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing Photo by: Erik Junius Verstappen also felt, “having an engine penalty, I think if all of the cars had that their race would also look very different”. “So, it's not very fair to fully look at my race coming from P11,” he continued.
