The 2025 Formula 1 Austrian Grand Prix was Max Verstappen’s worst race of the 2025 season. His team was bringing in new upgrades in hopes of giving him better chances in the driver’s championship. The Red Bull Ring is one of the best tracks for Max Verstappen. The Dutchman has won in Austria five times in his career. His weekend was already up to a difficult start with a P7 finish in qualifying session.<\/p>
As soon as the race started, Verstappen made up positions and was looking forward to challenge the frontrunners. He was able to create pressure on the second row going into turn 3. However, that’s where his race came to an unfortunate halt. While Verstappen was driving out of turn 3, Kimi Antonelli struck him rear axle from behind. Antonelli ended up ending both their races losing control going into Turn-3.<\/p>
Max Verstappen’s race ended due to someone else’s mistake. Initially, he was frustrated over the radio. Kimi Antonelli did not take any chances and went forward to apologise to him as soon as he could. Verstappen was seen consoling the young Italian on track. The two drivers made amends and the crash did not cause any big repercussions between them.<\/p>
