Verstappen has high hopes for Singapore

Max Verstappen does he dream of achieving the same performance achieved by Sebastian Vettel in Singapore in 2015? Faced with Mercedes withdrawn in the city-state, the German pilot of the Team Ferrari achieved its third and final success with the Italian team last year.

Winner in Spain having greatly benefited from the clash between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, Max Verstappen hopes to fight regularly with the Flèches d’Argent on a route which could well highlight the qualities of the car de Milton Keynes. Enough to make up for an Italian weekend where Christian Horner's team did not find the performance necessary to fight with the Ferrari SF16-H.

“I expect us to have a good weekend, admits the Dutchman, quoted by Speedweek. The Singapore Grand Prix circuit rewards cars with a lot of downforce. There aren't many straight lines. We have high hopes for this race. A podium must be our goal, but we are aiming, secretly of course, for a victory. »

If the Red Bull chassis remains the best asset for Verstappen and Ricciardo, the first notable developments brought by Renault on the Power Unit V6 turbo / hybrid had given complete satisfaction in the Red Bull clan since May. And when we know that the French clan still keeps 21 tokens in its possession, we say to ourselves that the potential room for progress for the Losange block and the Red Bull single-seaters still remains substantial.
