Max Verstappen has blasted his Red Bull team over a “never acceptable” mistake that led to him being called into box in the dying stages of Singapore Grand Prix qualifying.
The Dutch racer could seal his second world title this weekend if everything goes to plan but he has plenty of work to do after qualifying in eighth for Sunday’s Grand Prix. However, he would have been on course for a faster lap time before he was called to box on his final lap of Q3.
He was left raging at the call, with his team telling him to pit due to concerns over whether he’d have a sufficient fuel sample left afterwards. He was then heard lambasting his team over the radio with an expletive-laden rant.
