Max Verstappens championship charge hit a speed bump at the Mexico City Grand Prix on Saturday as he qualified fifth and admitted his Red Bull had been very difficult to handle.
The four-times world champion, sitting 40 points behind McLarens Formula One leader Oscar Piastri, made no attempt to sugar-coat his teams struggles despite winning three of the last four races.
Its just been very difficult. Ive tried a lot of stuff. Its not the lack of trying, Verstappen told reporters.
