Red Bull delivered Max Verstappen a front wing upgrade for the Singapore Grand Prix, and it has thrust the Dutchman into contention for a first victory at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. RacingNews365 technical expert Paolo Filisetti has explained how.
Max Verstappen finished second in qualifying at the Singapore Grand Prix, falling just short of securing pole position at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, with George Russell claiming a surprising pole.
Verstappen outperformed both McLarens, as Oscar Piastri qualified third and Lando Norris fifth, showcasing a notable improvement for Red Bull.
The RB21 seems to be handling well in Singapore, indicating that the new front wing introduced for this race has successfully increased front-end downforce while maintaining the car’s balance since the revised floor at Monza.
The recent update generates more vertical load and optimizes the car’s overall balance, enhancing its performance on the challenging city streets of Southeast Asia.
Overall, Verstappen and Red Bull Racing appear to be in a strong position for the Singapore Grand Prix, despite narrowly missing out on pole position.
