Red Bull has still not come up with a full set of answers as to why it was off the pace in Singapore.
Sergio Perez admitted that Red Bull still does not fully understand the reason behind their performance decline in Singapore, raising questions about their performance in the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix. Despite their hopes of winning every race in 2023, their struggles with car set-up and grip resulted in Max Verstappen and Perez being knocked out in Q2 and finishing in fifth and eighth place respectively. While Red Bull’s team principal Christian Horner attributed the slump to set-up issues rather than the recent FIA clampdown on flexi-wings, technical analyst Paolo Filisetti remains skeptical. As Red Bull aims to secure the 2023 Constructors’ title, Perez says the reasons behind their performance drop in Singapore are still unknown. Although he believes they have some ideas about their preparations for the weekend, Perez suggests that they approached the race with the wrong set-up. However, he remains optimistic about their performance at the Suzuka circuit, which he believes should be one of their strongest tracks.
