SINGAPORE — Max Verstappen said he took “zero” enjoyment from Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix after he found himself struggling to carve through the field.<\/p>\n

Verstappen’s weekend went awry in qualifying when he was forced to abort a lap that was comfortably fast enough for pole position due to a lack of fuel in his car for an FIA sample after the session.<\/p>\n

The championship leader lined up in eighth on the grid but dropped to 12th at the start when his car’s anti-stall system hampered his getaway.<\/p>\n

He managed to recover to fifth place, but ran wide at Turn 7 attempting to pass McLaren’s Lando Norris for fourth. He damaged his tires in the process as they locked under braking and was then forced to pit for a new set, dropping him further down the order.<\/p>\n

Verstappen battled back to seventh, including late-race overtakes on Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, but said the moves did nothing to improve his mood when he crossed the line.<\/p>\n
