He was among the losing drivers of the grid even though he won second place. On a track where Red Bull have never lost before, Max Verstappen has every ingredient to secure his win. Verstappen was starting on pole on the cleaner side of the grid. His car was competitive enough to squeeze out a good gap to the drivers behind him.<\/p><p>Almost everyone expected Verstappen to breeze through the race like he did in Suzuka. But, as soon as the lights went out, Verstappen found himself stuck in a perilous situation. He lost out to Oscar Piastri who had a better reaction time and claimed the turn 1 ahead of him. Still, Max insistently tried to take the corner from Piastri.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gave it everything today.
