Verstappen blames tyre degradation for missing out in Austria

Red Bull's Max Verstappen said that tyre degradation had been the root cause of his struggles in today's Austrian Grand Prix, which meant he lost out on a chance of victory to Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc. Verstappen had topped qualifying and Saturday's sprint race to start on pole position on Sunday at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, and initially seemed to have the upper hand as he rebuffed an attack from Leclerc at the start. He then pulled away and seemed safely out of DRS range, but Leclerc had been managing his first set of medium tyres over the opening laps and was able to reel him in and pass him on lap 12.
