Singapore, Sep 16: Max Verstappen’s historic run of 10 Formula One wins in a row looks set to end after he qualified down in 11th place on Saturday for the Singapore Grand Prix.
Carlos Sainz Jr. took pole for the race on Sunday ahead of George Russell and Charles Leclerc as Verstappen’s Red Bull team had its worst qualifying results of the season.
Verstappen, the runaway championship leader, was eliminated by .007 seconds in the second session by rookie Liam Lawson of sister team AlphaTauri. Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez was 13th after a spin. The two drivers have won every race this season between them.
Verstappen told his team over the radio that it was an “absolutely shocking experience”.
There could be worse to come for him. The Dutch driver is under investigation for two incidents in which he appeared to impede others.
Verstappen stopped at the exit of the pit lane in the first part of qualifying and held up AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda while driving slowly in the second.
Verstappen has won races this season from sixth on the grid in Belgium and ninth in Miami. (AP)
