"We believe we now understand why," said team boss Toto Wolff, "but only performance on the racetrack can prove our conclusions right."
The Austrian thinks that the Marina Bay street circuit will suit Red Bull's "high downforce design philosophy".
Former Red Bull driver driver Doornbos agreed, saying: "Singapore is a good circuit for Red Bull."
"You need a lot of aerodynamic and mechanical grip there and that's what that car is good for. Engine power is also much less important than in Monza."
"Renault is introducing an engine update in Singapore," Doornbos also told Ziggo Sport Totaal, "which means an extra 15 horse power for Max and hopefully a few tenths of time per lap."
"Max loves street circuits and even though he made some mistakes in Monaco, last year in Singapore he drove a crazy race with the famous 'No!' on the radio. Hopefully this year it will be a 'Yes!' on the podium," he said.
