Overview

  • George Russell converted pole into a controlled lights-to-flag victory at Marina Bay, with Max Verstappen second and Lando Norris third.
  • McLaren secured the Constructors’ Championship, though opening‑lap contact between Norris and Oscar Piastri drew an on‑air rebuke from Piastri.
  • Verstappen accused Norris of impeding in Q3 and later posted a photo of himself ahead of the McLaren, reflecting renewed Red Bull competitiveness.
  • The standings tightened with Piastri now 22 points ahead of Norris and Verstappen 63 back, with six rounds remaining including three Sprints.
  • Ferrari faced recurring brake overheating, with Charles Leclerc limited to sixth and Lewis Hamilton slowed by late failures and handed a five‑second penalty as Fernando Alonso fumed on radio.
