Overview

• Starting 13th on soft tyres, Yuki Tsunoda dropped to 17th on lap one, pitted early, and finished a lapped 12th at Marina Bay.
• He failed to reach Q3, with team principal Laurent Mekies labeling Saturday "poor" and the opening lap "certainly shocking."
• Tsunoda said his long-run speed in Singapore was among his best since joining Red Bull, but he struggled to extract one-lap grip.
• Mekies said the team will work with Tsunoda to understand what derailed qualifying and to improve starts after losing potential points.
• Pressure on his 2026 place is rising, with reports linking Isack Hadjar and junior Arvid Lindblad as possible replacements.
