Congratulations to McLaren, who won their 10th world constructors’ championship with six races to go, equalling the record for the earliest title conclusion. They have crushed their rivals with double the points of the second-placed team. It’s the first time they’ve won back-to-back constructors’ titles for 34 years.
But I suspect the celebrations tonight might be clouded by an incident …Keep reading

George Russell clinched victory from pole at the Singapore Grand Prix as McLaren secured a second Formula 1 world constructors’ championship victory on the trot.
Russell built an early lead over fellow front-row starter Max Verstappen to present a significant advantage to ward off a potential undercut, and then preserved that through the race’s second phase through heavy traffic to …Keep reading

McLaren says it is aiming to implement hardware fixes for its Formula 1 pitstop issues in time for 2026 as it explains why Lando Norris bearing the brunt of its slower stops is just a coincidence.
As Norris’ title battle against team-mate Oscar Piastri enters its final stages, the Briton suffered slower pitstops in three consecutive races. In Zandvoort, a 4.83s stop lost him ground to Piastri …Keep reading

After struggling through the first half of the season with a car that operated in a very narrow window, Red Bull has turned a corner in recent races. Max Verstappen took back-to-back Formula 1 victories, and he says the step in performance is about more than just new parts.  
With two dominant wins in Monza and Baku, and a front-row start in Singapore, Red Bull has shown significant progress …Keep reading

Strategy for the Singapore Grand Prix has always been built around maintaining track position, given the difficulty of overtaking, but it also has to take into account the high possibility of a safety car deployment. Last year’s race was an outlier – maybe – in that for the first time ever at the Marina Bay circuit, Bernd Maylander was not called upon.
The pitlane speed limit has been …Keep reading

For Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing, the qualifying session in Singapore has gone according to plan – and given recent history at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, perhaps even better than expected. Just like last year, the Dutchman secured second place on the grid under the floodlights, although the feeling is different this time. Red Bull has made progress, and this weekend provides …Keep reading

After Friday’s practice sessions, George Russell had never really factored in the discussion for pole at the Singapore Grand Prix pole – particularly after his FP2 shunt.
Thus, a day made all the difference, as he reeled off two laps that were ultimately good enough to start from the front in tomorrow’s Formula 1 race. The initial 1m29.165s he’d set was a colossal statement of intent despite …Keep reading

McLaren only needs to score 13 points in Singapore to wrap up its second consecutive constructors’ crown with five rounds to spare, but if you were looking for any lingering signs of that early season dominance you wouldn’t have been able to spot it over the last few weekends.
Championship leader Oscar Piastri and team-mate Lando Norris were well beaten by reigning world champion Max Verstappen …Keep reading

When your team-mate is sitting on pole position and you aren’t at least alongside them, you will have questions to answer – even in the modern era of convergence when the gaps are that much tighter.
Mercedes’ Andrea Kimi Antonelli turned that scrutiny on himself as he qualified fourth in Singapore, 0.379s off polesitting team-mate George Russell.
“My emotion took over,” he explained after …Keep reading

Williams Formula 1 drivers Alex Albon and Carlos Sainz have been disqualified from the Singapore Grand Prix qualifying session for a DRS technical infringement.
Albon and Sainz qualified 12th and 13th respectively at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, but a breach of F1’s technical regulations was spotted in parc ferme by FIA technical delegate Jo Bauer following the session.
The stewards have …Keep reading
