Max Verstappen has explained why he threw a towel left in the cockpit of his Red Bull onto the side of the circuit during FP2 at the Hungarian Grand Prix. "It's just a towel that you normally wipe your face with when you come back in," the 27-year-old explained. "It was still in the car when I went out." He went on to detail how not removing the cloth would have been more "dangerous" and that he sought to act in the "safest way possible" when he realised the initial mistake. "So, instead of it, of course, maybe potentially flying in between my feet, which is the dangerous part, I drove off line, and I got rid of it in the safest way possible, Verstappen said. "So I think this story is understandable." 📸: XPB Images | F1 ℹ️: RacingNews365com #F1 #Formula1 #FormulaOne #F1News #Formula1News #F12025 #GrandPrix #MotorSport #Race #Racing #MaxVerstappen #RedBullF1 We do not own the images or videos.
