Max Verstappen Walks Home After Disappointing Monaco Race Start

Max Verstappen's hopes for his first win of 2026 evaporated in an instant at the start of the Monaco Grand Prix when he stalled on the grid.

 

Verstappen had qualified second behind Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli, with the Ferrari drivers behind, in what had promised to be a tense run down to Turn 1.

 

But Verstappen's Red Bull failed to get away when the start lights went out.

 

On his radio immediately afterward, he said: "Nice. Completely f-----, guys. What the f---."
