Max Verstappen showed little understanding for his team after qualifying in Singapore. Indeed, the reigning world champion refused to take part in the debrief and has therefore already left the track, Formula 1 journalist Erik van Haren reported.

Red Bull Racing made a big blunder on Saturday by putting too little fuel in Verstappen's car. As the driver was on his final lap, the racing stable found out that there was a problem and Verstappen was therefore urged to drive his car inside.

It means that Verstappen will start Sunday as the eighth driver and will face a tough race in Singapore. The Dutchman finds it incomprehensible for such a mistake to take place and made it clear to his team.
