Singapore is the only grand prix on the F1 calendar that Max Verstappen has not won

Max Verstappen has criticised Formula 1's driver-cooling system before the Singapore Grand Prix, the first race to be declared a 'heat hazard'.

The Red Bull driver, who qualified second to Mercedes' George Russell at Marina Bay, said he was "not intending to use" the cooling vest "because I don't like it".

And he said he was opposed to plans by F1's governing body the FIA to make the use of the cool vest mandatory in heat-hazard races from next year.

Russell said he would run the system, while McLaren's Oscar Piastri, third on the grid, was unsure whether to use it.
