Verstappen was forced to retire from the Monaco Grand Prix F1 race before completing a lap at Circuit de Monaco on Sunday.
Analysis:
Verstappen pulled out an impressive qualifying performance to line up second on the grid, only four one-hundredths of a second off the pace of Kimi Antonelli. While it was anticipated that Verstappen would push Antonelli for the lead and the win, he was barely able to get his car off of the starting line. Red Bull announced that the issue was caused by a power unit failure, an issue that will be corrected in time for the upcoming Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
