Verstappen shrugs off flexi-wing clampdown: “I don’t think it will hurt us”
The FIA has issued a technical directive for the Singapore Grand Prix, focusing on scrutinizing and potentially penalizing teams for using flexible wings, which has led some teams to make modifications. This directive is based on the rule that states all aerodynamic components must be rigidly secured. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner has dismissed the impact on his team, stating that they have not used flexible front wings. Max Verstappen, echoing his team principal, believes the rule change will not affect Red Bull’s performance. Singapore has been a challenging circuit for Verstappen, as he has yet to win there in his F1 career. He anticipates a tough race weekend, as the street circuits are generally more difficult for Red Bull’s car.
