Red Bull expecting strong race in Singapore

Red Bull are hoping for a strong race at Singapore next weekend.

After a resurgent season so far, Red Bull endured a difficult Italian Grand Prix, but team boss Christian Horner thinks Red Bull will be back challenging at the front again in Singapore.


"Monza is our weakest circuit," he admitted. "but Singapore is one of our strongest."

 Red Bull are reportedly planning to bring car improvements to Singapore, along with further improvements to the Renault engine. With those developments, Max Verstappen thinks a podium could be on the cards and isn't ruling out a challenge for the win.

"Yes, I expect that we will have a good weekend," Verstappen is quoted by Speed Week. "Singapore rewards a car that has a lot of downforce, and there are not many straight lines."

"A podium must be our goal, but we are secretly looking at the win," he said.

  • A win is definitely possible for them. Wouldnt be a surprise if the order will be Red Bull, Ferrari and then Mercedes in Singapore. McLaren should also have a good race in Singapore. Williams and Manor will probably suffer quite a bit though.
