Red Bull now fully focused on 2017 car

Red Bull F1 boss Christian Horner has revealed that the team's Milton Keynes base is now fully focused on the development of their 2017 car.

When asked what the team had in store for the forthcoming Singapore Grand Prix, Horner said, "We have a few little bits and pieces. Now the whole factory is focused on 2017. There are little bits and pieces [for the 2016 car] but nothing major."

The Marina Bay street circuit is similar in character to Monaco where Red Bull were very strong earlier this season. The more aero dependent venue should suit the strengths of the RB12 in the hands of Daniel Ricciardo and Max Vesrtappen

Horner explained, "It is a different type of circuit. We expect to be stronger. Hopefully we can get closer to Ferrari and give them a harder time than we did in Monza.

"Monza is a pure horsepower circuit, slow-speed corners, long straights, so it's very clear where things are at. We're in a better position to where we were 12 months ago, but there is still some way to go to close that down.

"But we know that there are circuits coming up which should suit more the characteristics of our car. Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Mexico are theoretically all tracks which should be reasonable for us," added Horner whose team is in a battle for second place in the constructors' championship with Ferrari.
