Max Verstappen's second free practice session ended early due to an engine problem. The problems concern Verstappen, who is especially worried about the rest of the weekend in Canada.
"Unfortunately, FP2, not many laps for me. There was a suspected electrical issue, so they told me to box and they're investigating now. I haven't been back in the garage yet, but I'm sure soon we'll figure out what it is," said Verstappen after the second free practice in Montreal.
Verstappen worries in Canada
No drivers completed the desired amount of laps due to rain. Verstappen was therefore asked if this makes it less of a problem. He said: "It's not ideal. I would have liked to drive more laps. Some other people had a few more laps in the dry, a few more laps now in the wet. So it's definitely not how I would have liked to get on in FP2. But I think it's more important to just figure out what actually happened and what kind of implications that will have for this weekend or the rest of the year."
For Verstappen, the problem with the ERS comes at a weekend when Red Bull Racing had just installed a new engine for Verstappen and Perez. So it is also not surprising that Verstappen wants to get to the bottom of this. A new engine could also have consequences for the rest of the season when it comes to grid penalties.
