Max Verstappen's nightmare in Monaco - forced to retire after just 500 meters

The Formula 1 race in Monaco had barely started when Max Verstappen was forced to retire. The Dutchman discovered a fault in his car on the first lap. "It's only been 500 meters, I'm going home," Verstappen told his team on the radio.

Max Verstappen, the multiple world champion, had problems right away in the classic city race. He was forced to retire on the first lap after discovering a fault in his car. According to several media outlets, it was an engine problem.

"Hey guys, what the hell. It's only been 500 meters," Verstappen shouted over the radio to his team.

The race then continued with several incidents and a red flag. In the end, 19-year-old Italian Kimi Antonelli won. Lewis Hamilton finished second and Isack Hadjar third.

"It's been a wonderful weekend. The car gave me more confidence, and it worked out," Antonelli said.
