Max Verstappen got a great scare Sunday afternoon just minutes from the start of the Hungarian Grand Prix. While it was his turn to set up to go on the grid on a wet track, the talented Dutch driver made a mistake which threw his car out of the track. The latter went to touch the security wall, fortunately at a moderate speed.
The spoiler of his Red Bull and the front left wheel were still damaged by the impact. The Dutchman was able to join the starting grid, in 7th place, and his car was very quickly taken care of by the mechanics. Within minutes, they were able to repair the damage.
More complications for Max Verstappen even before the start of the #HungarianGP
