Alonso expects Red Bull bounce back after 'one-off' Singapore
Fernando Alonso believes that Red Bull’s poor performance in Singapore was just a one-time occurrence and expects them to bounce back in the Japanese Grand Prix. The team struggled with their setup throughout the weekend, and neither Max Verstappen nor Sergio Perez made it to Q3. This race marked the end of their 15-race winning streak and Verstappen’s record-breaking 10 consecutive wins. Red Bull has been impacted by the recent Technical Directive TD018, which aims to crack down on flexi-wings. However, Team Principal Christian Horner believes that this was a track-specific issue and hopes for a dominant performance in Japan. Alonso had a disappointing race as well, facing a slow pit-stop and finishing outside the points, while his teammate Lance Stroll didn’t even start due to a qualifying crash.
