Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko gave a damning verdict after the team's lackluster performance in the FP2 session on Friday at the F1 2024 Singapore Grand Prix. The Austrian team made a decent start to the weekend as Max Verstappen finished a competitive P4. However, in the important FP2 running under the lights, the deficiencies of the RB20 were exposed as the three-time world champion could only manage a P15.
Verstappen's teammate Sergio Perez experienced similar struggles as the car could not ride the track's curbs and bumps effectively, finishing the first two practice sessions on Friday in P14 and P8 respectively.
Speaking with Motorsport Dutch, Marko explained the struggles of the RB20 around the Marina Bay Circuit and that "nothing works" on the car.
"Nothing works. Nothing works on Max's car at all. On both the soft and the hard tires he had no grip and balance at all. At the moment I would say that it is very worrying. We really have to try drastic things. Let's see what else we can do," he said.
