Today’s qualifying in Singapore brought a big shock, as the two Red Bull cars both failed to make it into Q3. This is the first time since 2018 that’s happened. Verstappen qualified P11 and Perez P13, respectively.
This comes in a season in which Red Bull has won every single race, and Verstappen is currently on a 10-streak victory run (beating Sebastian Vettel’s previous record of 9 victories in a row).
The only Red Bull-related car that made it into Q3 was reserve driver Liam Lawson for AlphaTauri, who ended up P10 (incidentally knocking out Verstappen in the process).
Carlos Sainz took P1, with George Russell in P2 and Charles Leclerc in P3.
I know we usually don’t do qualifying posts, but I wanted to talk about this! Do you think Max will prevail in the race (as per usual), or are we actually gonna get a non-RB winner?
