We warn you: Max Verstappen and Red Bull did not fare well in Singapore and they could have a very tough race this weekend. The duo built by the Dutchman and the Milton Keynes car, who usually have a huge dominance over the rest of the grid, will not have such a privileged position for this weekend’s event. And this was confirmed in the classification of the F1 Singapore GP. Max Verstappen was left behind in Q3 by just 7 thousandths after pushing harda, oddly enough, by a driver from the Red Bull young talent academy, Liam Lawson, who replaced Daniel Ricciardo due to a tire injury on an AlphaTauri.
“I don’t know what you’re seeing, but it’s… it’s an absolutely mind-blowing experience,” said Max Verstappen after being left behind in Q3 and in the fight for pole. The Dutchman was 11th and had to wait for the stewards to analyze an action where he stopped Yuki Tsunoda mid-lap. something that could cost him another three penalty positions for the grid this Sunday.
Things are very complicated for Verstappen to fight for his 11th consecutive victory after setting the historic record of 10 consecutive victories including the one he achieved at Monza two weeks ago. That leaves a huge window of opportunity for his pursuers.
