MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Formula One world champion Max Verstappen’s Australian Grand Prix came to a premature end on Sunday as the Red Bull driver’s car suffered a reliability problem and rolled to a halt during his 39th lap with smoke billowing out.
It was Verstappen’s second non-finish of the season, having also suffered one at the opening race in Bahrain.
