Verstappen’s escape from a severe sentence in Singapore is specifically described by Brundle.

Martin Brundle criticized AlphaTauri for skipping Max Verstappen’s hearing with the stewards following Singapore Grand Prix qualifying.
Verstappen ultimately avoided punishment for his Saturday close call with Tsunoda because Red Bull’s sister team declined to pursue a penalty.
.

Over three different instances of obstructing, the current champion was called before the stewards.
Tsunoda, an AlphaTauri star, became enraged in one of those during Q2.

The 23-year-old was obviously prevented from proceeding to the final round of qualifying by Verstappen. Tsunoda was seen being furious about the incident.
.

Verstappen was ultimately exonerated, much to the surprise of many onlookers, and received no punishment.
AlphaTauri, a Red Bull sister team, was not present at Verstappen’s hearing, which infuriated renowned journalist Brundle.
.

For Sky Sports, Brundle wrote, “Quite how Max Verstappen didn’t also get a penalty for impeding Yuki Tsunoda in qualifying when considering other penalties applied this season was a great surprise to many in the paddock, which I confidently predict includes the team and driver in question.
.

Although they were the junior Red Bull team, Tsunoda’s Alpha Tauri team’s failure to send a representative to the hearing disappointed me on the field of play.
