Will Red Bull be able to compete with McLaren at this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix?
Red Bull is confident that they will not repeat the struggles they faced in Hungary at the upcoming F1 Singapore Grand Prix after achieving two dominant victories in Italy and Azerbaijan. The team is heading to the Marina Bay Street Circuit with Max Verstappen’s recent back-to-back wins showcasing their return to dominance in 2023. This race presents a different challenge with the circuit requiring maximum downforce and the hot, humid conditions affecting tire and car performance. McLaren has performed well in similar conditions, making Singapore a crucial test for Red Bull and Verstappen’s title hopes in the 2025 F1 season. Red Bull boss Laurent Mekies believes they have made improvements since Budapest and is confident they won’t face the same struggles in Singapore, emphasizing the need for maximum downforce on the unique circuit. Despite Red Bull’s difficulties in Hungary, Singapore offers a chance for redemption and a shot at victory after their last win at the circuit in 2022 with Sergio Perez.
