Verstappen blames damp-to-dry patch for Dutch GP crash

Max Verstappen explained his race-ending Dutch Grand Prix crash came from a damp Turn 1 after a rain shower left the track wet, with the Red Bull driver starting seventh and getting squeezed on the grass in a four-wide moment before accelerating onto a drying patch too early. He called the impact a 'decent hit' and noted it fit a weekend where Red Bull struggled, as he heads into the Italian Grand Prix with time to recover after feeling unwell.
