“Of course you learn from it, but this is really bad, to be honest – it shouldn’t happen.” SingaporeGP 🇸🇬 F1
feared if Verstappen had completed the lap, he would have been in danger of having insufficient fuel left in his car to provide the required sample – and therefore risking dropping to the back of the grid.Verstappen explained: “I already felt the lap before as well, but then they told me to abort, says ‘okay’, we do that, but then on the final lap they told me to box, then I realised I think what was gonna happen and we ran out of fuel.
“So it’s just incredibly frustrating and shouldn’t happen. When you under-fuel it or don’t do plan to do that sixth lap, then at least you track that throughout the session that you know you’re not going to make it and we should have seen that way earlier. “So I’m not happy at all at the moment. I know of course it’s always a team effort and I can make mistakes and the team can make mistakes but it’s never acceptable.Verstappen has won the last five grands prix, some of them from way down the grid due to the superiority held by himself and his car.
On his prospects of doing likewise at Singapore, he said: “It’s a bit like Monaco, just super-hard to pass. You can maybe do a little bit of strategy, but at the moment I’m not really in the mood to think about the race tomorrow. “Once I jump in the car I will always give it my very best, but at the moment I’m super-frustrated with what just happened.”
