Max Felstappen (Red Bull Honda) admitted he was “fed up” with repeated Honda engine problems.

Felstappen had withdrawn from the F1 Round 8 Italian GP at Monza due to a problem with the Honda engine, but the Honda engine also ran into problems at the Round 9 Tuscan GP held at Mugero.

“It seems like it was the same problem that happened at Monza last weekend.”

Ferstappen, who finished the Tuscan GP after two consecutive withdrawals, told his native Netherlands, Ziggo Sport, adding:

“It was a good start, but I had that problem again when I fully opened the throttle. I could already feel it as I was heading to the grid.”

Felstappen’s direct retirement at the Tuscany GP was due to him crashing into the gravel with another machine.

But Felstappen said he didn’t try to hide his disappointment with Honda at this time.

“Even if you end up in that situation, the result is the same, because you would have retired anyway.”

“It’s not normal for that to happen in two consecutive races. I’m fed up with it right now. It’s not that important to me anymore.”

Felstappen, who finished pointless in two consecutive races, has also retired to third place in the drivers ranking at this time, 80 points behind leader Luis Hamilton (Mercedes) and second place Bartelli Bottas (Mercedes). There is a difference of 25 points.

In fact, winning the F1 title in 2020 is desperate, and the second place in the ranking is also in a delicate situation.

Toyoji Tanabe, Honda’s technical director in charge of F1, also commented: “It was a shame that the PU (power unit) had a problem even though we were able to show speed.

Felstappen finished his two consecutive games in Italy with the worst results, while his teammate Alexander Alban finished third in the Tuscan GP final, securing his first podium.

Arbon was not able to perform as expected in 2020, but good results at Mugero will certainly give it confidence going forward.

Red Bull team representative Christian Horner said the results would play a “turbocharger” role for Arbon’s confidence, he continued.

“Our cars tend to be a bit unstable at the rear, which doesn’t affect Max’s driving, but this season’s Alex (Albon) and last year’s Pierre Guthrie (now). It was a hindrance for Alpha Tauri) “

“It’s not that big of a problem for Alex anymore, because he learned to deal with it.”
