"We change a lot on the car, and it makes zero difference. The whole weekend we've been off. The car is completely undriveable. I cannot even put a bit of a reference in. Every lap is like survival. We turned it upside down and it was exactly the same, so I'm expecting exactly the same tomorrow."
"It's very inconsistent. Whatever lap I do, I am like: All right, well, that is it. Can I go four 10ths faster? Maybe. Can I go four 10ths slower? Yeah, that's a big chance as well because it's just all over the place. It's just incredibly difficult. It's incredibly tough to drive. There's no balance, I cannot lean on the car."
Max Verstappen experienced a disastrous weekend at the Chinese Grand Prix, condemning Red Bull's RB22 as the worst car he has driven. The four-time champion qualified eighth, finishing nearly a second behind Mercedes' pole-sitter Kimi Antonelli. Despite extensive setup changes yielding no improvement, Verstappen described every lap as survival, with the car lacking balance and consistency. He finished the sprint race ninth, outside the points. The car's unpredictability made it impossible to establish reference points or push for competitive lap times, with performance varying dramatically lap to lap. This represents a stark contrast to Red Bull's previous competitiveness.
