Overview

• McLaren needs 13 points to seal a 10th constructors' championship, with a single podium for Oscar Piastri or Lando Norris enough to confirm the title.
• Max Verstappen arrives on back‑to‑back wins at Monza and Baku, trimming the deficit to Piastri to 69 points with seven grands prix and three sprints remaining.
• Singapore remains Verstappen’s only winless venue despite 67 victories, and Red Bull has rarely thrived there where qualifying is critical and overtaking is limited.
• Red Bull cites a Monza‑introduced floor for stabilising the RB21 and unlocking setup performance, with Laurent Mekies insisting a Hungary‑style slump should not recur despite heat sensitivity concerns flagged by Helmut Marko.
• RacingNews365 reports Ferrari’s rear‑suspension rethink widened the SF‑25’s operating window but dulled responsiveness to setup changes, which may hinder adaptation to Singapore’s changing track conditions.
