Red Bull deny technical directive was to blame as Singapore woes explained
Red Bull’s winning streak of 15 races came to an end at the Marina Bay Street Circuit with a disappointing weekend for the reigning world champions. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez could only salvage fifth and eighth place in Sunday’s race after a surprise double exit in Q2. Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, attributed the poor performance to a set-up problem and acknowledged the need for improvement in their next car, the RB20. Horner denied claims that recent changes to flexi-wings and floors affected their performance, stating that no components were altered. He also compared Red Bull’s struggles in Singapore to Mercedes’ difficulties during their dominant era.
