Horner believes Singapore poses threat to Red Bull record
According to Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner, the team will need to be at their best to outperform their rivals at the Singapore Grand Prix. Red Bull has had difficulty matching their previous race performances, with their drivers Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen finishing seventh and eighth in practice. Both drivers have complained about the lack of rear grip on the Soft tire, although they have managed to improve on long runs and narrow the gap to the leading Ferrari. Ferrari’s strong performance poses a significant threat to Red Bull’s winning streak, as they aim to become the first team in Formula 1 history to win every race in a season. Horner acknowledges the challenging nature of the Marina Bay Street Circuit, stating that it does not align with the strengths of the RB19 car. The team will have to excel to maintain their winning momentum, with tough competition from Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes. 90-degree corners, similar to those found in Monaco and Azerbaijan, have historically presented a challenge for Red Bull.
