Red Bull admits: 'Problems not solvable in one race weekend'

Red Bull Racing clearly went the wrong way somewhere during the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez need to get as far forward as possible from 11th and 13th starting places respectively. Adrian Newey and chief engineer Paul Monaghan shed light on the matter.

Asked by Viaplay what happened to Red Bull given the disappointing performance in Singapore, Newey replied, "It's a complicated question. As always, it's a lot of factors. Something we need to go away and understand. Primarily track related, but clearly we haven't understood the nature of the track very well this year."

Monaghan added that the Austrian racing stable made a number of wrong choices over the weekend as a result of problems that "didn't just get solved". "We’ve got some inherent problems that we can’t necessarily fix in a race weekend," the chief engineer is quoted by The Race.

"We’ve made some mistakes. And it’s all culminated in us going out in Q2. If we could do it all over again, for sure we would do it differently. Many teams in the pitlane might say that. But I think we compounded some errors," Monaghan concluded.
