Max Verstappen blames car issues for missing out on Mexico pole

Max Verstappen says a combination of car issues cost him the chance of becoming Formula One's youngest pole-sitter at the Mexican Grand Prix.

The Dutchman looked on course to break Sebastian Vettel's record of being the youngest-ever pole-sitter -- which the German achieved aged 21 years and 72 days at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix while driving for Toro Rosso.
