Max Verstappen does not seem to be having a good weekend in Singapore. He already had to settle for a disappointing eighth place on the grid, but then also got off to a very poor start. Teammate Sergio Perez, on the other hand, is doing good business on behalf of Red Bull Racing.
Poor start for Verstappen, Perez excellent away
Perez got off to an excellent start and immediately took the lead from Charles Leclerc. The Mexican leads the race, while Verstappen has not yet returned to his starting position. The Dutchman had a tremendously bad start and lost several places. After some overtaking, he has now arrived at P9 behind Sebastian Vettel.
