In the Singapore Grand Prix, Red Bull’s Christian Horner expressed satisfaction with Max Verstappen’s podium finish, stating they would have eagerly accepted it at the start of the weekend.

With Verstappen’s championship lead reduced to 52 points and Red Bull’s constructors’ position slipping further, Horner emphasized the need for performance improvement.
