Max Verstappen feels that he has “unfinished business” as F1 gears up for the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix weekend.
Verstappen heads to Marina Bay after a successful September saw him win the Italian and Azerbaijan Grands Prix to cut his title deficit down to 69 points with seven rounds left, and he last weekend enjoyed a winning GT3 debut at the Nürburgring.
The reigning four-time champion however has never won the Singapore GP in eight previous attempts, with two second-placed finishes representing his best result on the streets of Marina Bay.
Verstappen however is coming into this year’s event off the back of a “great” September with “a positive set up with the car and are heading in the right direction”, although he acknowledges that Monza and Baku were both low downforce circuits so expects a tougher weekend.
“Both were low downforce tracks that we performed well at and the Singapore circuit is quite different, so will be more of a test.
“It is quite a physically demanding track for all drivers and in this race it is about really getting comfortable with the uncomfortable.
“It is a cool street circuit to drive but, of course, I have never won there so you could say there is unfinished business.”
We need a strong Team performance so looking forward to what the week brings.”
Verstappen’s teammate, Yuki Tsunoda echoed his view as he anticipates “some challenges” for Red Bull this weekend due to various factors from humidity to the different nature of street circuits.
“There’s so many things that come into play there, the humidity, the night race, the street circuit – it’s one of the biggest tests we have as drivers. But, that’s what makes it fun and I enjoy preparing for it and racing there.”
