In brief
Red Bull aims to end Singapore street circuit weakness after Baku and Malaysia upgrades. Max Verstappen says Red Bull has improved low-speed corners but still struggles with bumps and kerbs at Singapore. Originally reported by Motorsport.
Verstappen's Singapore record

Verstappen has stood on podium four times in Singapore but has yet to win the race.
Singapore weakness explained

Verstappen acknowledges Red Bull struggles with bumps and kerbs in low-speed corners at Singapore.
“In the last few years, we've always been bad in low speed and just kerb riding, taking the bumps”
Baku and Malaysia upgrades

Red Bull's Baku and Malaysia upgrades show improved low-speed performance but circuit differences remain.
Hadjar's confidence

Isack Hadjar believes Red Bull can overcome Singapore weakness after Baku and Malaysia success.
“Especially if you look at the last two rounds, those were two very different tracks, Baku and Sepang. They have literally nothing in common, yet the car was delivering on both occasions”
Madrid performance

Verstappen secured second place in Madrid, showing potential improvement on kerbs.
Singapore sprint challenges

Singapore's one practice session requires quick execution to maximize car performance.
“It's every year that during the day you have a little bit less grip here. It's probably a little bit harder on the tyres, but the most important thing is just to find a good balance with the car straight away in FP1”
Verstappen's outlook

Verstappen hopes Red Bull will be more competitive in Singapore this year than previous seasons.
“So, of course, I have unfinished business here when you have not won the race yet. Actually every year I come back and I'm trying to win it”
Singapore race impact

Singapore's street circuit demands precise car balance to overcome low-speed challenges.
