Verstappen - "s*** happens"

“I would always say shit happens,” Verstappen - who lost a certain win in Baku last year when his tyre exploded - responded when asked if he felt for Leclerc. “That’s racing, you know?

“It happened to me, it happened to many people in the past and unfortunately it’s happening to Charles now. If I would be in the same situation I would also be disappointed, I think that’s very normal, but it’s about how you come out of it. 

“You always look at how to improve things and that’s what we did as well at the beginning of the season. You learn from it, you don’t like it, you are angry, but you turn it around. 

“You always have to stay on it because something else might happen and you have to prevent these issues from happening.”
