Max Verstappen "in shock": outburst via radio and after qualifying

The weekend in Singapore è has so far been one to forget for world champion Max Verstappen. The Red Bull driver, undisputed ruler of the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship with ten wins in the last ten races, will only start from 11th position on Sunday after disappointing Singapore GP qualifying, which saw him eliminated in Q2.

It was an abnormal situation for the Dutch driver, who first vented over the radio, calling himself "in shock" for the car's performance during qualifying, then he recoiled at reporters microphones.

"We tried to change several things on the car trying to improve it, but I think the changes made it even worse making it unrideable. I couldn’t brake, the car kept sliding", Max è complained.

Verstappen could even be penalized for impeding on several drivers: "I will talkò with the stewards, but honestly after the performance we had today a penaltyà counts for nothing", said the two-time world champion very frankly.
