Verstappen admits first day in Canada ‘not ideal’

“There was a suspected electrical issue so they told me to box and they’re investigating now. I haven’t been back in the garage yet, but I’m sure soon we’ll figure out what it is.”

He continued: “It’s not ideal. I would have liked to drive more laps. Some other people had a few more laps in the dry, a few more laps now in the wet.

AS IT HAPPENED: Follow all the action from second practice for the Canadian Grand Prix

“It’s definitely not how I would have liked to get on in FP2, but I think it’s more important to just figure out what actually happened, and what kind of implications that will have for this weekend or the rest of the year.”

Verstappen’s team mate, Sergio Perez, was 10th fastest on Friday’s timesheets as he pondered what lies ahead for the rest of the weekend – with further rain set to fall.
