“I think we have got a much clearer understanding, which is primarily a set-up problem,”ꦿ Red Bull team principal Horner said after the race.
Horner said Red Bull will learn a valuable lesson for their 2024 car after some unforeseen weaknesses of their previously unbeaten RB19 w🅷ere exposed in Singapore.
“I think that maybe our 🍰simulation before the weekend didn't lead us to the right conclusion,” he explained. “Then yo🌱u have to sort of unravel your way out of that.
“I think we just ended up in the wrong window and it exposed som𒆙e of our weaknesses that the car has.
“But it has actually been a very useful lesson for next year, because it gives us some very useful insight and certain things that hopefully we can addre༺ss in our RB20.”
Horner moved to deny suggestions that a fresh 💝clampdowﷺn on flexi-wings and floors had hurt Red Bull’s performance.
“It's a🀅ll engineering stuff. There's no silv𓄧er bullets in this business,” he said.
“I know all of you would love to blame the TD, b🐟ut unfortunately we can't even blame that, because it's not changed a single component on our car.”
Pushed on whether the team was 💜forced to change any of their components, Horner respon🐻ded: “No. Zero.”
Hoౠrner also drew comparisons to Mercedes’ tendency to struggle in Singapore during th♓eir own period of dominance.
“I think the technology involved ﷺis♕ so high, and the competition is so high,” he added.
“Occasionally, to have a car that’s competitive across every single venue, in eve𝐆ry condition, on every compound of tyre, is a hell of a challenge.
“I think we saw it even with the Mercedes eras of domination th🦄at sometimes they come here and struggle. Maybe it’s unique to this circuit that has its differences to others.”
