Verstappen misses out on pole position: "What the ****!
- GPblog.com
Max Verstappen was by far the fastest in the closing stages of qualifying for the Singapore Grand Prix. The Dutchman seemed on his way to pole position, was almost a second faster than Charles Leclerc, but was suddenly called in by his team. The question is why, but at least Verstappen is furious.
The Red Bull Racing driver also broke off his penultimate lap despite two purple sectors. Verstappen probably thought his lap after that could be even faster because of the drying track. The reigning world champion proved that too with fast two first sectors, but in the end he thus did not pass the finishing flag.
Over the team radio, Verstappen expressed his frustration. "What the f*ck, why? I don't get it. WTF is this about."
