Max Verstappen was on a pretty decent lap at the qualifying session at the Marina Bay Grand Prix Circuit. However, he had to abort his pole position attempt to reserve fuel for the FIA’s mandatory fuel test.

Verstappen was one course to obliterate Leclerc’s provisional pole time. However, a mistake in the 3rd sector meant he had to abort the lap and push for a final flying run. On his final run, he was again up on Leclerc’s time. Nevertheless, his team asked him to box.

Seeing this, fans asked why Red Bull called the Dutch Lion into the pits when he was clearly on a lap that could have gotten him pole position for Sunday.

Moreover, Formula 1 has now released his team radio exchange. This has sent the F1 Twitter sphere into a frenzy. Let’s take a look at just some of the fan reactions to this crazy end to the Singapore Grand Prix’s qualifying session.

Let’s take a look at just a few fan reactions to Max Verstappen’s team radio exchange.

As you’d expect, Verstappen was not aware of why he was being called into the pits. This led a confused and annoyed Max Verstappen to come onto the radio and question his team’s decision.

But with him starting 8th of the Grid and Leclerc on pole, this seems highly unlikely. This didn’t stop the fans from making a meme out of this Red Bull qualifying fiasco.

Fans also took to the social media platform to troll the defending Formula 1 World Champion.
