If the Singapore GP qualifying session set a standard, it is that the race will promise a lot of excitement. The qualifying session alone saw some impressive driving and some bizarre incidents. Max Verstappen was responsible for one such incident towards the very end of the hour-long qualifying session.

The Dutchman was on his last flying lap with the last gasp attempt to go fastest. However, Verstappen was surprisingly asked to pit by his team on the lap. This was a lap that could have put him on the front of the grid according to data. Now, he will start the race from P8.

Red Bull pitted Verstappen in order to save fuel for the post-qualifying FIA’s fuel sample test. Failure to provide the sample would’ve put Verstappen at the back of the grid.

Fuel monitoring is the team’s responsibility. However, Red Bull’s advisor, Dr. Helmut Marko, had an interesting theory on the scenario.

Talking to Sky Deutschland, he said, “Our penultimate lap would have been enough for pole position – he affirmed – but Verstappen stopped because he was too close to Gasly and could not attack on the last lap.” (Translated by Google)

Dr. Mark also revealed the Dutchman was almost a second faster in the penultimate flying lap compared to pole sitter Charles Leclerc. However, not a lot of fans are able to wrap their heads around the Pierre Gasly blame.

Twitter has proof of Pierre Gasly siphoning fuel from Max Verstappen

As usual, the Gasly blame did not go unnoticed by the Twitter fandom. Twitter fans didn’t just take notice, but they alsocame forward with solid proof of the sabotage from Gasly. Take a look for yourselves!

The fans did not waste any time and took to Twitter to mock the comment from the Red Bull advisor. The edits from the fans on Twitter are absolutely hilarious.

Not a lot of fans could connect Verstappen’s lack of fuel with Gasly’s being in front of him. But Marko did, and that was enough for the F1 fanbase to light up Twitter.
