Max Verstappen sufre con los arranques de carrera en la F1 2026

Max Verstappen ha enfrentado problemas persistentes con arranques lentos en las carreras durante la temporada 2026 de Fórmula 1, cayendo posiciones al inicio de las carreras en Melbourne y Shanghái. El piloto de Red Bull, actualmente octavo en la clasificación, atribuyó los problemas a una falta de potencia en la batería y agarre. Estos contratiempos contribuyeron a finales sin puntos y un abandono en China.

Max Verstappen sufrió un inicio complicado de la temporada 2026 de F1. En la carrera inaugural de Melbourne, se recuperó hasta la sexta posición tras partir desde el 20º lugar debido a un accidente en la Q1. Sin embargo, una salida lenta desde la parrilla, causada por “no battery”, afectó a ambos coches de Red Bull, con su compañero de equipo Isack Hadjar también sufriendo antes de abandonar. Verstappen esperaba una solución de cara a la ronda de China. Las nuevas regulaciones de 2026, sin el MGU-H, exigen a los pilotos que aceleren los motores a más revoluciones durante al menos 10 segundos para poner en marcha el turbo y recolectar energía en la vuelta de formación para una mejor aceleración. En Shanghái, Verstappen clasificó octavo para la carrera sprint, a 1,7 segundos del poleman George Russell. Describió el día como “a disaster, pace-wise”, citando “no grip, no balance, just losing massive amounts of time in the corners”. Desde octavo, cayó al 15º en la primera vuelta, marcando su primer final de sprint sin puntos desde 2021. Tras la sprint, comentó: “Honestly I didn't even ask. They said they would fix it. So I hope that that will be fixed for tomorrow.” El problema persistió en el gran premio, donde cayó al 11º para la vuelta dos a pesar de clasificar octavo. Rodando sexto, abandonó en la vuelta 46 debido a una falla en la unidad de potencia. “It was expected”, dijo. “But again, the start of course was a big problem... I just have no power. As soon as I release the clutch, the engine is not there.” Hadjar sumó puntos en octavo lugar. Verstappen se preguntó si el déficit de ritmo en Shanghái respecto a Mercedes y Ferrari era específico de la pista, diciendo: “I hope not, but I don't know.”
