F1: It’s the end for Max Verstappen!

Ultra dominant since the start of the season, Max Verstappen leaves his rivals practically no chance. But in Singapore, on a circuit that he does not particularly like, the Dutchman was not able to win. Victorious in the Grand Prix of the city-state, Carlos Sainz ended a series of ten consecutive victories for the double world champion.

Max Verstappen is on another planet this season. The Dutchman outrageously dominates a world championship that he could already win next week at Qatar. Despite everything, he came to a halt at Singapore. Never at ease on this urban track, the driver Red Bull had a difficult weekend which ended with a crushing defeat, his first in ten races.

End of series for Verstappen in Singapore

He had accustomed us to saying only good things about him since the start of the season and particularly since the Miami Grand Prix where he had ten victories in a row. Often rewarded with a score of 10 from our colleagues at The team after his demonstrations on the track, Max Verstappen seemed unbeatable. However, the impossible happened. HAS Singaporehe was eliminated as soon as Q2. And on an urban circuit which does not encourage travel, it was almost impossible for him to catch up. This benefited Carlos Sainz which therefore ended his streak of ten consecutive victories, a new record in Formula 1. The pilot Ferrari also stops the crazy series of fifteen rank victories Red Bull who had therefore not lost since the GP d’Abu Dhabi 2022. At the end of this race, Max Verstappen was not necessarily disappointed because he expected it.

“I knew this day would come”

« I knew this day would come, so for me, everything is fine. It might be harder for the team because with two cars you have two chances to win. But everything must be perfect. Everyone always says, ‘Ah, look how dominant they are and look how easy it is.’ But it’s never easy, and there are a lot of details that we have to sort out and this weekend we clearly didn’t get some things right. And then you are behind », had confided Max Verstappen. He has already made up for it since he won the Japanese GP last weekend.
