Max Verstappen demands Red Bull fix after latest “horrendous” situation

Max Verstappen has demanded that Red Bull resolve ongoing issues with poor race starts following his sprint race victory ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix. Despite starting from pole position at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the four-time Formula 1 world champion was immediately overtaken into Turn 1 by Mercedes driver George Russell before regaining the lead when Russell crashed on the opening lap.

Verstappen labeled the start horrendous and warned that a similar getaway in Sunday's main grand prix would ruin his race. Downplaying the sprint triumph, Verstappen emphasized that his primary focus remains securing a strong qualifying performance and taking victory in the actual grand prix.
