Verstappen causes Austrian GP red flag after MORE reliability issues

The latest news from the Austrian Grand Prix

By Simmey Hannifin Donaldson.

The Austrian Grand Prix weekend has got off to a troubling start for reigning world champion Max Verstappen after his car pulled up on the start-finish straight.

Verstappen complained of an engine fault on the radio to his team as he brought his car to a halt. The red flag was thrown immediately, halting the session.

The three-time champion is now potentially hugely on the backfoot heading into the rest of the weekend given this weekend's event in Austria is an F1 sprint event.

Verstappen's vehicle was wheeled straight into the Red Bull garage and the issue looked set to cause another headache for the team.

Spring qualifying is set to take place later today, with no further practice sessions scheduled.
