Terrible news for Red Bull in the Australian Grand Prixafter the retirement of world champion Max Verstappen, withdrawal prompted after 40 laps.
‘Mad Max’ remained in the fight for first place, although several seconds behind Charles Leclerc, leader of the race. It was then that the Dutchman began to report a “strange liquid” coming out of the car.
The incident forced him to stop the car, which slowly started to light up: fortunately without serious consequences, since the security team managed to turn it off in time.
With this abandonment the responsibility falls on Sergio Prez, who remains in the fight for the podium.
The Mexican was aware of the abandonment of his teammate, a situation that he consulted with his team, who told him there was nothing to worry about.
