Verstappen's Dominance Exposes F1 Drivers' Amateurism, Austrian GP Sprint Weekend Explained
TL;DR
Max Verstappen criticizes the number of lap times deleted during qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix due to drivers exceeding track limits, calling it "silly" and making the drivers look like "amateurs." Verstappen himself was caught out in Q1 and dropped to 17th. He blames the difficulty of judging the white lines, the "big" and "heavy" cars, and the zero-tolerance policy on track limits. Verstappen suggests putting gravel next to the kerbs as a solution.
