Verstappen says he felt like he was 'drifting' at the start of the BritishGP after losing the lead to Norris.
Max Verstappen felt like he was"drifting" at the start of Formula 1's British Grand Prix, as the Formula 1 championship leader lost the lead to McLaren's Lando Norris.Verstappen was jumped off the line by Norris to the delight of the home fans in attendance at Silverstone, which also let Piastri get close to the Red Bull driver.
Speaking about his slow start, Verstappen explained that the wheelspin off the line created a race that was not"straightforward" and simply tried to avoid any further incidents in the opening corners. "As soon as that [wheelspin] happens, of course you lose so much drive all the way to Turn 1. When Lando was in front I just tried to stay out of trouble in Turns 3 and 4.
Verstappen reckoned that the lack of grip that he faced during the start was similar to drifting around the circuit as part of his pre-event marketing commitments.
