Max Verstappen officially secured his first-ever victory at the Marina Bay Street Circuit during Saturday's rain-delayed Singapore Grand Prix Sprint, but the four-time world champion is far from happy. After a 30-minute weather delay forced the grid to start on intermediate tyres, Verstappen suffered a terrible launch off the pole position, allowing Mercedes driver George Russell to instantly snatch the lead heading into Turn 1.
While Verstappen ultimately inherited the victory after Russell spun and crashed into the pitwall at the end of the opening lap, the Red Bull Racing driver remains deeply concerned about his flawed starting sequences.
