Too early to say, but it does seem that the new flexible parts rule clarification could have been aimed at their car

I don’t think it’s the flexibility of the wings (or lack of it) that was the issue. They would have benefited primarily at top speed, and there’s not much at Singapore that’s top speed dependent (see Williams). The Red Bull car, although very quick, has been great in cornering and today he couldn’t hook it up in the corners. I think they just had the wrong setup for the car and couldn’t get it figured out. Red Bull should have made it into Q3 regardless and had the pace to do so. The tires weren’t in the right zone for either car so Max was sliding everywhere and Sergio spun. With the new track layout, I still expect a strong showing from Red Bull on race day. Their car is kind to tires and they definitely don’t have the 11th (for now) and 13th fastest cars in race pace. Either way, really exciting qualifying today!

If they're sliding around that much, then that won't be good for their tyres though. Let us have some.hope

Ha! Hey there is hope for sure. Red Bull in their worst form of the season. Who have you got winning tomorrow? I like George Russell’s chances. Ferrari is too hard on tires to hold him off for the entire race in my opinion. Everything is out the window if it rains though….

Anyone but Max and I'll be happy

If it is Max I will be happy.

If it is a good race, I will be happy
