This problem ended Verstappen's day at Imola

Italy continues to be troubled ground for Max Verstappen. His second free practice came to an end after just five laps.

Max Verstappen's bad luck on Italian soil continues after the Dutchman failed to finish all three of the races in Italy last season. It's continued in 2021 as during the second free practice ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, it looks as though something broke off from his Red Bull after driving over the curbing. RacingNews365.com has learned that Verstappen's issue was a reported driveshaft issue. It's no doubt a blow for Red Bull as they continue their fight with Mercedes, as Verstappen didn't return to the track after completing just five laps during the session.
