However, Patrick made a major mistake, and fans took to social media to point it out. Patrick, who was interviewing at the time, was not aware of Charles Leclerc’s grid penalty. This made the 40-year-old former driver misquote Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc’s starting grid position in the interview. She basically asked Max’s expectations for his second-row start tomorrow when he would actually start from P2.

F1 fans were not slow to point the mistake out on Twitter. They tagged the star driver and conveyed to her the mistake she made during the interview. However, she must’ve realized her mistake already by now.

That makes Max Verstappen come one spot ahead to start alongside pole-sitter Carlos Sainz. Mercedes stars Lewis Hamilton and George Russell start from P3 and P4, respectively, while Sergio Perez goes all the way down to P9 due to an engine penalty.
