For Singapore, the FIA have issued a 𓄧technical directive to the teams that flexible wings will be closely scrutinised and potentially punished, forcing some teams to make some modifications.

This is in reference to the following rule, which states: “all aerodynamic components or bodywork influenc꧂ing the car’s aerodynamic performance must be rigidly secured and immobile with respect to their frame of referenc𒉰e”.

At Monza, team▨ boss Christian Horner dismissed suggestions that Red Bull would be ꧑impacted.

He said: “It’s not something that affects us. We’ve seen a few rubbery nose boxes, shall we say, so we’ll 𒁃see those get addressed, I guess, in Singapore.”

Verstappen ech෴oed his team principal, hinting that Red Bull🌊 will be as strong as usual.

“We never really had any flexible front♒ wing or whatever. So I don’t think it will hurt us,” he explained in the FIA press conference on Thursday.

Singapor✅e is one of the few circuits where Verstappen has yet to w☂in in his F1 career.

D�🌃�uring his first title-winning season, F1 didn’t race in Singapore due to the pandemic.

In 2022, Verstappen endured a difficul♏t weekend after a rare blunder on t𒅌he pit wall in qualifying, while he struggled in the race.

Assessing his chances this weekend, he expects a “very tight” battౠle.

“I think we are just not as c🤡ompetitive as other tracks. I think the street circles are tougher for our car. I still think that we can do a good job but it will be very tight.”
