Red Bull explain cause of Max Verstappen car problem which ended his Saudi GP qualifying

Max Verstappen will start the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on the eighth row of the grid after suffering an engine problem in Q2.

The Dutchman was the overwhelming favourite to take pole having topped the timesheets in all three practice sessions. But in the second part of qualifying he suddenly complained of an engine problem over the radio.

He was able to limp back to the garage but it wasn't long before he was out of the car and making his way to the interview area. As a result he could only go 15th fastest, meaning he will start the race on the eighth row rather than on pole, as was expected.
