Audi drivers point to engine shortfall ahead of Singapore
Reports from multiple outlets say Audi’s Formula 1 drivers identified the team’s engine package as its main limitation. They also indicated they are not overly concerned, with Singapore’s Marina Bay layout expected in theory to reduce the usual disadvantage from outright power.
Multiple reports said Audi’s Formula 1 drivers highlighted the engine as the team’s biggest current limitation. The story was framed around how that deficit compares with the leading manufacturers.
Ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix, the Marina Bay Street Circuit was described in theory as a track that should suit Audi because it is less power-sensitive than some other venues. Even so, the reports noted that this usual expectation does not necessarily fully apply in Asia.
The reports added that the outright power gap to the front-running engine manufacturers should be smaller in Singapore. Audi was also identified as being led by Allan McNish.
