Like it or not, Max Verstappen predicts a return to a full-strength Red Bull in Sunday\u2019s Japanese Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
The world champion team were chasing their tails all weekend in Singapore, though his fifth place and Sergio Perez\u2019s eighth were better than they could have hoped for after shocking Friday and Saturday form.<\/p>\n
Despite this end to his 10-race winning streak, Verstappen leads the standings by a giant 151 points going to high-speed Suzuka, a different proposition from the high-downforce Marina Bay Circuit.<\/p>\n
\u2018I feel good about Suzuka,\u2019 said Verstappen. \u2018We learned from today and what we got wrong yesterday. I cannot go into details.<\/p>\n
\u2018Getting back on top is the target. Yes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Max Verstappen is confident that he and Red Bull will be able to bounce back in Japan<\/p>\n

Verstappen saw his ten-race winning streak come to an end in Singapore as he finished fifth<\/p>\n
\u2018We have a few ideas. This track is so different and it doesn\u2019t relate.\u2019 Carlos Sainz\u2019s victory yesterday derailed Red Bull\u2019s perfect season \u2014 they now have 14 wins from 15 \u2014 but team principal Christian Horner is hardly complaining.<\/p>\n
\u2018We never expected such a hell of a run,\u2019 he enthused.<\/p>\n
\u2018It is beyond our wildest imaginings.<\/p>\n
\u2018We knew it had to come to an end at some point. Max has won 10 in a row and that is insanity. We are grateful and proud of it all.\u2019<\/p>\n

Despite his frustrations in Singapore, Verstappen leads the drivers’ standings by 151 points<\/p>\n
