Red Bull Racing clearly struggles with circuits that are a bit bumpier, such as Monaco and Singapore. This weekend it was again evident as Max Verstappen, leader in the championship, did not get beyond sixth place. The Dutchman himself does not understand where the problem lies, he told GPblog and others.
Last season in Monaco, the competition was even further away from Red Bull in terms of performance, allowing Verstappen to win that race, with no obvious problems. This was not the case in Singapore, later in 2023. Verstappen finished only fifth, as the car struggled on the track.
Verstappen doesn't understand RB20 problems
So, there have already been two races where the Red Bull's shortcomings have been evident. When asked if it is something that can be improved for next year's car, Verstappen replied, "Well, we first need to understand what it is. We don't know it. So this is something that we have to find first."
Next, a journalist notes that he sees that the team does improve after difficult weekends. Here he gives Singapore and Monaco as examples Verstappen himself states, "I mean, I think both of them [Monaco and Singapore] were pretty bad. So, like I said, we don't know what the issue is yet. So that is what we need to understand first."
