Red Bull and Toro Rosso Are the Teams to Watch at the Singapore Grand Prix

Red Bull and Toro Rosso have not had many opportunities to shine this season, but this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix will be one of them.

So far in 2015, Red Bull's best races by far have been the Monaco and Hungarian Grands Prix—at the two tracks most similar to Singapore's Marina Bay street circuit.

Likewise, Toro Rosso's Max Verstappen scored the team's best finish not only of the year, but since 2008, with a fourth-place in Hungary. He was also impressive in Monaco before crashing into Romain Grosjean while trying to find a way past late in the race.

Red Bull have a good chassis, as has usually been the case in recent years, thanks to a design team led (less so, now) by Formula One genius Adrian Newey.

"We've had quite a few updates, all year we've had updates, but I'd say since Silverstone it's really come on strong and we seem to be in the window a lot easier now with getting the car there," Daniel Ricciardo said recently, per ESPN F1's Nate Saunders.

This year, Toro Rosso's car is also quite strong. "We look at GPS data after every session and compare ourselves with Ferrari, Williams and even Mercedes," Verstappen's team-mate, Carlos Sainz Jr., told Autosport's Edd Straw.

"After watching our data from Barcelona, I'm convinced that this car, with a very decent engine, will be fighting with Williams and, on some occasions, with Ferrari."



And that is the problem for the two Red Bull teams: the lack of a decent engine. Renault have struggled since the introduction of the hybrid V6 engine formula last year and now Red Bull are openly courting other power-unit manufacturers.

Around slow, twisty street circuits, though, engine-power deficiencies are more easily masked than at recent high-speed tracks like Spa-Francorchamps and Monza. Therefore, Singapore offers the last best chance for Red Bull and Toro Rosso to score some serious points in 2015.<...
