Max Verstappen has gotten candid about the potential reasons of his failure at Italian Grand Prix.

The Formula One world champion has blamed “undriveable” Red Bull car for getting sixth pole position.

“The car is undriveable, it’s a massive balance problem that we have, and that is not only over one lap but also the race,” Verstappen said.

He continued, “Last year we had a great car, which was the most dominant car ever, and we basically turned it into a monster.”

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, ­McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were among the top three podium winners.

The Dutch driver has not won the last six races after a dominant start to the F1 season.

“It doesn’t matter where we are [racing] at the moment, we are bad everywhere, so we need a lot of changes,” he explained, “At the moment both championships are not realistic.”
