Isack Hadjar, a Red Bull Racing driver, has claimed that Max Verstappen would have won the Singapore Grand Prix by a larger margin had he been driving a Ferrari. Verstappen, who secured pole position for both the sprint race and grand prix, emerged victorious in both races at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Hadjar, speaking in the drivers' press conference in Austin, downplayed the notion that the Milton Keynes outfit now possesses the fastest car on the grid.
He attributed Verstappen's win to his exceptional ability to capitalize on every advantage, rather than relying on the pace of his Red Bull machinery. Ferrari's lack of new tyres in the race, particularly on the soft compound, and the absence of new upgrades introduced at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix also played a part in Verstappen's victory.
Currently, Red Bull Racing sits fourth in the constructors' championship, seven points behind McLaren in third place. Verstappen is fourth in the drivers' standings with 221 points, closing in on Lewis Hamilton's 229 points in third place. Hadjar, on the other hand, ranks eighth with 97 points.
