According to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, the failure to win the Singapore Grand Prix had a significant impact on Max Verstappen. It made him more determined and highlighted the difficulty of being competitive in every race in Formula 1. Singapore was the only race Red Bull didn’t win in 2023, ending their hopes of a clean sweep. Verstappen had won 10 races in a row before Singapore and went on to win the seven races that followed. However, the Singapore race showed the challenges of winning and the importance of setup, as the team’s simulation tools led them astray. Despite the setback, Verstappen’s motivation was at an all-time high, and he went on to win the Japanese Grand Prix by a massive margin. This season has been a phenomenal year for Verstappen, and his achievements should not be underestimated.
