Verstappen would have been P6 without the 20 second total penalties. The car is slow, especially on the hards.
He is around 13 seconds behind Russell so would have been 4th right now.
He is losing time still, Mercedes is faster... P6 was best result. It is just the way Verstappen thinks and drives. He knew this going into the race. So best strategy would be to compromise Norris as much as possible, which he achieved. I personally don't like it, but it makes sense.
