Pierre Waché, speaking exclusively with RacingNews365 after the Singapore Grand Prix, shared his dissatisfaction with Red Bull’s result at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Pierre Waché, the technical director of Red Bull, expressed disappointment after the Singapore Grand Prix, feeling that the team “missed an opportunity” at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. He mentioned in an interview with RacingNews365 that they were not aggressive enough in setting up the RB21 to maximize its potential. The team’s recently rejuvenated package, including an updated floor introduced at Monza, helped Max Verstappen get back to winning form and stay in contention for the F1 drivers’ championship.
Despite expectations being low due to the track not suiting Red Bull’s recent performance, an updated front wing on the RB21 showed promising results. Verstappen narrowly missed pole position due to disruptions during qualifying but managed to finish second in the race. He put on a defensive masterclass to secure second place behind George Russell’s Mercedes and ahead of Lando Norris’ McLaren.
While there were some challenges during the weekend, including Yuki Tsunoda’s struggles, Waché acknowledged the potential of the car but expressed some personal disappointment in not fully utilizing it. He felt they may have missed an opportunity but recognized the positive progress made with the car’s performance.
