Max Verstappen says he can’t wait to get on a plane out of Singapore after a tough weekend at the Marina Bay street circuit.
says he can’t wait to get on a plane out of Singapore after a difficult weekend at the Marina Bay street circuit.But that job was made very difficult on Saturday after he could only qualify eighth on the grid after his team made a bizarre error by not putting enough fuel in his car which forced Verstappen to abandon his final flying lap.
However, after coming back from lowly positions to win in Hungary, Belgium and Italy, there was still great hope of a victory under the lights in Singapore for the Dutchman, but from the off that prospect became increasingly unlikely. A poor start saw him drop down the order and the wet and treacherous conditions meant that progress up the grid was slow.
A late safety car renewed hope of a podium finish, but on the restart Verstappen’s attempted an overtake on Lando Norris went badly wrong as he went off track and was forced to pit again for fresh tyres. This dropped him to the back of the pack, yet he recovered well to claim seventh place after late overtakes on Sir Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel.
