during qualifying for the Azerbaijan Formula One Grand Prix at Baku City Circuit on June 24, 2017 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Max Verstappen had been quick all weekend long around the streets of Baku, but for the second race in a row, the young Dutchman's Red Bull died as he was fighting at the front of the pack. It was his fourth DNF from 8 races and it left him feeling angry and disappointed.

Despite his speed over the weekend however, Verstappen was having engine issues and to make sure these didn't occur in qualifying, the team dialled the Renault engine down, hence why he wasn't able to fight for pole and started fifth on the grid.

So come Sunday, Max wasn't thinking about reliability as he had assumed, incorrectly as it turned out, that the issues had been solved. Just like Canada, Max was giving 110% when all of a sudden he could feel the car losing power…

“Here we go again” he said over the team radio and the disappointment was clear in his voice and in his demeanour when he climbed from the car.

After the race, Max refused to speak to the press as he was too angry and upset over his third technical failure from eight races this season, but when he did finally talk to the Dutch press about the situation, he explained how gutted he really was, especially when he knew he had the potential to win what many have called one of the wackiest F1 races ever seen.

“During the race I wasn't thinking about reliability concerns and then suddenly I had a problem again,” he was quoting as saying on Peptalk. “It's really gutting to drop out again when you're in such a good position and if you look at what happened afterwards. The team are still looking into the problem.”

One thing Max did confirm was that he would be using a new engine in Austria…

“It's definitely something with the engine. Now the engine is done so we can put a new one in. I think we were positively surprised. The car was doing well but then I really want to score points. In terms of outright speed the whole year has been quite good, but in terms of scoring points it really hasn't.”
