Max Verstappen, driver for Red Bull Racing, is preparing to face a new challenge after his notable triumph at the Bahrain Grand Prix, recently held in Sepang, Malaysia. Despite dominating almost all the tracks on the calendar, victory at the Marina Bay Street Circuit remains an unachievable goal for him.
Helmut Marko, former advisor to the team, has expressed his confidence that Verstappen will finally be able to overcome his ghosts in Singapore. After Red Bull’s first victory with their new engine program, the team has experienced a notable change in energy.
A historic step for Red Bull
Marko recently commented on the impact the victory in Bahrain has had, highlighting that despite the rainy conditions, the team’s great achievement was reflected in the success. “It was a wonderful moment for Max and for Red Bull, to show that we can win with our engine,” he stated.
Furthermore, he emphasized that the progress of the chassis has allowed unlocking the potential of the car on narrow circuits like Singapore, where they had previously faced difficulties.
Possibilities of breaking the Singapore curse
Marko, with renewed optimism, shared that Verstappen firmly believes he can achieve the victory that has eluded him. “It would be the only track missing from his record, and we are confident he can achieve it this time,” Marko highlighted.
On October 11, all eyes will be on the Marina Bay circuit as the Formula 1 community awaits to see if the Dutch driver can mark a new chapter in his career, thus completing his impressive journey in the competition.
