Max Verstappen says his record run of Formula One victories will come to an end at Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix after he qualified 11th on the grid.
The two-time world champion is on a run of ten straight victories stretching back to May's Miami Grand Prix, but will face his toughest challenge of the season when he lines up on the grid in Singapore.
"On a street circuit, that is something that is very crucial, to be confident on the brakes and attack the corners. So I couldn't do that, and besides, also just the low speed corners, where I think we have been struggling the whole weekend, I just had no rear support. "I mean, in general, normally our car is a bit better on [tyre] degradation, maybe to some people around us, but I don't think that matters a lot in Singapore where it's very hard to pass.
Regardless of Sunday's result, Verstappen is set to secure his third world title in the coming races and he appeared calm about the poor performance.
