Verstappen wants Red Bull to 'review' the decision to make him pit right after de Vries' incident, a call that cost him the lead of the AzerbaijanGP
Verstappen was able to clear Leclerc on the restart but felt that the mistimed pitstop had caused damage to his own race, and felt that it was something for the team to look into."In hindsight, I mean, I can't see that, but it's something to review. I mean, clearly, you could see there was one wheel damaged and it looked like he was not going to drive that anyway back to the pits, even if he would've reversed.
From there he decided to sit back and manage his tyres, particularly as he struggled with balance on board his Red Bull RB19. "After the safety car, I tried to put the pressure on Checo to try and get into that DRS. I think one time I was pretty close to getting it, but it was just hanging in there really close, trying to really catch up.
"I probably damaged my tires a bit too much early on for such a long stint. So then at one point, I just settled in, tried to do a little bit my own thing to not damage the tyres completely to the end. "But it was just very difficult to have a good balance on entry to mid-corner and a lot of the time here is about entry to mid-corner to get that right.
