Singapore’s Sprint weekend gives Red Bull just one free practice session. Verstappen wants the car balanced from the outset and says qualifying usually determines where a driver finishes on a circuit where passing is difficult.
Max Verstappen wants Red Bull to find a good balance with the car straight away in FP1, the only free practice session of Singapore’s Sprint weekend. He said finding that balance would probably help for the rest of the weekend.
Verstappen said daytime running in Singapore usually brings less grip and is probably harder on the tyres.
He also stressed the importance of qualifying: qualifying for the Sprint or the Grand Prix normally determines where a driver finishes, he said, because passing at the circuit is difficult.
