Max Verstappen expressed deep dissatisfaction with Formula 1 and his Red Bull car following a poor qualifying at the Japanese Grand Prix in Suzuka. The four-time world champion said he must make life decisions, including whether to continue in the sport, as it no longer brings him enjoyment. He emphasized the need to pursue activities he enjoys amid 22 races away from home.
After being knocked out in Q2 during Saturday's qualifying at Suzuka, Verstappen criticized the session despite an FIA intervention. He pointed to onboard footage from the 130R corner, where drivers lost significant speed due to super clipping. 'Yes, and that says it all, I think,' Verstappen told reporters. He has voiced similar concerns earlier this season in Bahrain, Melbourne, and Shanghai, adding, 'I’ve already said everything about the regulations anyway.'
