The Formula 1 circuit returns to Asia with the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, marking a crucial event before heading to America, which involves the Mexican GP. At this stage of the 2024 season, there have been significant shifts, notably Red Bull's loss of its lead position in the Constructors' Championship to McLaren. The RB20 car has sparked complaints from drivers Sergio 'Checo' Pérez and Max Verstappen, who are seeking resolution to issues that remain unaddressed. As they look forward to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, both drivers hope to regain momentum and reclaim their championship title from 2022.

The qualifying day brought a tough result for 'Checo', known for his prowess on street circuits, as he was eliminated in Q2, leaving him with a challenging starting position. This outcome could hinder Red Bull's ability to accumulate maximum points needed to maintain pressure in the championship race. In contrast, Lando Norris, who has performed impressively throughout the qualifying sessions, has secured pole position, suggesting a strong performance in the upcoming race.

As the teams prepare for the race on September 21, the focus is intensely on the strategies that will be deployed given the challenging dynamics of the Marina Bay circuit, especially for Red Bull as they navigate a title defense scenario. The results of this race could play a pivotal role in shaping the remainder of the season as teams and drivers vie for points before the transition to the American leg of the calendar, highlighting the importance of the Singapore GP in the overall championship framework.
