Max Verstappen has explained what success would look like for himself and Red Bull at the Singapore Grand Prix, an event the team has struggled at in past seasons.
Max Verstappen has outlined his goal for the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, aiming for success by extending his lead in the drivers’ championship rather than targeting pole position or a race win. Despite his current 59-point lead, he acknowledges the recent struggles Red Bull has faced in qualifying and the races, especially on street circuits like Marina Bay. Verstappen’s focus on improving his championship advantage comes after difficult performances in Monza and Baku, where he faced challenges with grid positions and on-track results. He acknowledges that achieving success in Singapore would require a significant effort, describing it as potentially needing a “small miracle” for him to clinch victory in the race. Despite the difficulties Red Bull has faced with bumps and kerbs this season, which have been exacerbated on street circuits, Verstappen remains cautious about his prospects for the upcoming Grand Prix weekend.
