Verstappen’s fierce anger

Max Verstappen wanted to take pole position in Singapore but ultimately has to start from eighth on Sunday. Marina Bay is his second circuit in the World Championship and is more difficult to overtake, making it a tough vote for the Dutchman despite having the best car. The defending world champion took pole position in the final minutes and when it looked like he could make it, all went wrong. On his penultimate attempt, he painted the first two sectors purple, but called off his return in the final sector after suffering a few whiplashes.He had one more turn to go, but when he was attacking at full speed, his team I told him I had to abandon the last lap because I didn’t have enough gas.

The FIA ​​requires teams to finish with a minimum amount of petrol in their fuel tanks. Otherwise Max might have had to come out last in this domino. Because of this, I radioed him in the middle of the lap and asked him to come into the pits. Max didn’t understand him.

“Oh my god! But my god! I don’t understand anything, comrades, I don’t understand anything!” I did, but I didn’t want to reveal what happened.

to a difficult comeback

Verstappen felt tremendous anger. You have to start with the 8th square. His better degradation seen in recent races, combined with the high degradation to be expected from the tires on this track if the rain doesn’t hold, should he attempt another, more aggressive strategy to complete his comeback. However, when it rains, Max finds himself in the middle of the pack at the start, which is fraught with danger and uses “safety” to gain positions. is needed.
