Damn, that's a month from now. Hope they are still near the top in the Constructors by then.

Def rooting for RB!

With back-to-back race weekends, there are not many major updates from most teams for the Singapore Grand Prix but some of the teams have made some small updates to their cars for this race weekend including the VCARB who have come into the Singapore GP with a track specific updates to their front wing and it looked to work very well for them in the first couple of practice sessions. Are we going to see some surprise from them in Sunday's race?

RB struggling through FP1&2 - Checo finding some better pace again, typical for street circuits. Interesting to see.

Mclaren and Vcarb looking a bit faster than I expected. Ham still struggling to consistently outperform Rus. Nor still outperforming Pia.

Maybe drivers should use "Bwoah" instead of F Bombs

I'm smelling a LEC Pole. Or possibly a NOR Pole that he'll lose to LEC on Lap 1. Either way, cheers, Killed by Death .

Right now RBR can afford to lose 13 points in the WDC as Baku they only lost 3 points. (assuming lando takes 8 points every race)

So if they lose less than 13 points this weekend, it will be a win for RBR.

If Max DNF, it would be worst case scenario.

Can they go back to the car that they had last year or atleast mimic it? Very surprised how slow he's been.
They could but that iteration is probably slower. The fact is, Red Bull has been out-developed by Ferrari and McLaren and now going through the growing pains the rest of the grid felt the last two years.

Yeah instead of continuing the development, they thought their advantage would last till 2026.

If you are far ahead, you're supposed to continue developing regardless of how much far ahead you are, but RBR has gotten complacent.

Even their strategy and pit crew got lazy, it's like nobody has drive anymore like back in 2021/2022.

If COTA doesn't work, they are losing the WDC, but I hope Leclerc takes it because lando definitely does not deserve it.

2 race wins, barely any poles.

Can you imagine how undeserving that would be?
