JAKARTA - Red Bull Racer Max Verstappen admitted that there were no significant changes made to improve the performance of his RB21 Red Bull car.

The whistleblower said there were balance problems that continued during the Hungarian GP.

Verstappen had to settle for a very difficult qualification after only finishing eighth and trailing + 0.356 seconds from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc who claimed pole position at the session taking place at the Hungaroring Circuit, Saturday night WIB.

"We don't seem to have found a solution. We are trying a lot as a team and unfortunately no one really helped our balance," Verstappen said.

The four-time world champion racer said that it was very difficult to explain the situation of his current car.

Especially from the performance shown in free training sessions to qualifications that do not provide competition for other competitors.

"It's hard to explain how we suddenly have a lot of trouble with cars this weekend. There's just no handle up front, behind, it's hard to balance it," said Verstappen.

"This is a mystery at the moment. Throughout this weekend, we have always been left behind," he added.

This season, Verstappen is indeed experiencing quite difficulties with RB21 which is facing problems with balance.

Even Verstappen in the last three series failed to secure the podium, being his worst record since the 2019 season.

By going through the race from eighth, it will make it very difficult for Verstappen to be able to break the bad streak in the last four series of races before the mid-season break.
