Overview

  • Max Verstappen won his Nürburgring GT3 debut with Chris Lulham for Emil Frey Racing, earning admiration and some envy from fellow F1 drivers.
  • Heading into Singapore 69 points behind Oscar Piastri, Verstappen calls himself an underdog and jokingly pegs his title odds at 50%, as peers offer estimates from 10% to 100%.
  • Marina Bay’s high-downforce, high-degradation demands are expected to suit McLaren, leaving uncertainty over whether Red Bull’s recent gains translate to this layout.
  • The Singapore Grand Prix carries a 93% Safety Car probability and forecasts of storms through the weekend, factors that could shake up strategy and results.
  • Verstappen says he will not add more Nordschleife races this year and that a 2026 24h entry would depend on the complexity of F1’s new regulations and his GT3 program logistics, with Emil Frey Racing expressing readiness.
