Max Verstappen has been the man to beat during the 2023 F1 season, but his Q2 exit at the Singapore GP qualifying has been a huge shock to him and the whole Red Bull team. Verstappen was off the pace on Friday, but no one, including himself, was expecting him to get knocked out at the end of Q2.

The shocking incident has not sat well in the conscience of Max Verstappen, and at the end of the Q2 session, he was seen going on a furious rant over his team radio. With his recent exit, the Dutchman has seen himself not making it into Q3 for the first this year. Sergio Perez, in the other RB19, could not get out of Q2 after his untimely spin.
