Max Verstappen was the only usual racer at the first 2 rows of the Turkish Grand Prix during lights out. The rest were far behind in the 3rd or 6th row. Yet, he could not hold his ground till the 58th lap and eventually finished P6.

The Dutchman displayed extreme skill at the beginning of the race. He took off well but went scrambling for grip at the first corner.

The track was dripping wet. So, the Red Bull.33 could not beat it with pace; he had to do it with control. Well, that is one area we have seen him struggle and Istanbul Park was his ultimate challenge.

However, Max was doing well until he started spinning out. He had to balance pace and control yesterday, and he failed miserably. Verstappen committed several mistakes that cost him his podium at Turkey.

A post on Reddit has gone viral, which states that it was the first race for Max Verstappen in 2020, where he finished off the podium. Well, for him to maintain such a streak and then drop to P6 straight, it is pitiful.
