Russell crash surfaces during a conversation between Max Verstappen and Christian Horner.

After witnessing George Russell crash into the Singaporean barriers, Max Verstappen had an interesting response.

When speaking with Red Bull team president Christian Horner about George Russell’s crash during the final lap of the Singapore Grand Prix, Max Verstappen was perplexed over the team radio.

On the last lap of the race, Russell was vying with Lando Norris for second place when he clipped the outside wall coming into turn ten, seriously damaging his W14 and forcing him to retire.

The King’s Lynn driver was still awaiting his first points on the streets of Singapore, and the British driver was furious with himself for blowing a guaranteed podium finish.

Verstappen inquired about the incident over the radio, asking, “So by whom did he go into the barrier?,” to which his team principal responded, “On his own.
ok.
“.

The last race’s crash by Russell gave the current world champion an opportunity to move up the grid and salvage a fifth-place finish.

Despite witnessing helplessly as his ten-race winning streak came to an end with a whimper, Verstappen wasn’t overly disappointed with his weekend. He admitted to having some bad luck with the Safety Cars to Sky Sports F1.

“Both the first and second ones arrived for us at the incorrect times.
Therefore, it was somewhat unfortunate. The second stint was enjoyable for me.
On the medium compound, we were remarkably swift.

Russell, who lost a chance at a top-three finish, was not in the same position; he was visibly upset and devastated.
He said, “No words to be honest,” when asked by Sky Sports F1 about his performance. Such a strenuous race.
difficult to maintain focus.

“Carlos [Sainz] did a great job backing up the pack, preventing us from using the alternate strategy.
If I had passed Lando when I had the chance, I believe we would have been able to pass Carlos and be in the lead by half a car length.
.

Then, on the final lap, a tiny moment of distraction put the race out of reach.
We sincerely apologize to the entire team.
The tyres were blowing out, and you were pushing your limits during a really difficult race.
That is how racing ought to be; if you make a small error, you should be penalized.
