Verstappen says Red Bull radio mostly worked in Austin despite recurring problems

Max Verstappen says Red Bull has had recurring problems with its team radio, although most of it worked in Austin. He said he missed nothing and lost no points because of the issue.

He called the issue “a bit strange” and said it made communication with race engineer Tom Hart harder. The problems had been worse earlier in Singapore: Gianpiero Lambiase had to use coded language, and Verstappen had to respond affirmatively using a steering-wheel button because communication from the car was not getting through.

Red Bull is looking closely at the problem and trying to fix it as quickly as possible, Verstappen said.
