There is no peace lately for the Red Bull. Despite the mess that resulted in eighth place in qualifying for Max Verstappen, Chris Horner has not raised the white flag for tomorrow. According to the Milton Keynes team principal, all is not lost, despite the Singapore circuit notoriously hindering overtaking and being little better than a Monte Carlo in terms of spectacle. Where does this trust come from? From the cars of 2022 – which suffer less than in the past, if they have to chase – and from the quality of Verstappen: if there is a driver who can make a comeback that he would know of a feat, it is Super Max.
On the one hand, Horner has relaunched the challenge to Ferrari, on the other hand he is counting on Sergio Perez, who went 22 thousandths from Charles Leclerc’s pole position: “It was a qualifying with several ups and downs. In the first place, Checo has done an extraordinary jobthis is his first row ever at this circuit and he can have a great race starting from second position. Looking at the data, he had a good pace ahead of the race, so let’s hope he gets a good start and puts us in a great position. As for Max, the track was getting better and better and we thought five laps would be the most we could have done. However, when we got to the launch lap, we realized that the fuel was too close to the limit. Rather than starting from the pit lane, we chose to stop the lap, a frustrating decision for Max and the whole team. The result relegates him to eighth place, but it is obviously better than starting from the pit lane. This makes life much more difficult, but we have already seen that with this season’s cars you can overtake. Nothing can be taken for granted, the race is still open and we are confident that we can reverse the situation tomorrow“.
