Max Verstappen won the Singapore Grand Prix with a dominant drive from pole position. It was his first victory at Marina Bay and came on the occasion of his two-hundred-and-fiftieth Formula One race.
The weekend included sprint pole and victory as well as the grand prix result, reflecting a Red Bull car that finally provided the performance he had wanted for much of the season. A malfunctioning radio did not derail his control of the race.
Kimi Antonelli remained the leading championship contender and moved closer to securing the title. The report separates a commanding weekend performance from the overall season picture: Verstappen’s resurgence produced another win, while the championship situation continued to favour a different driver.
