The Singapore Grand Prix has left several important conclusions among motorsport fans. The competition has been intense and the performances of drivers and teams have sparked debates about the future of the season.
Red Bull has demonstrated its continuous improvement, with a more competitive and predictable RB22. Max Verstappen has confirmed this trend with outstanding performances, including an impressive victory in Singapore. Although the title seems out of reach for Verstappen, this triple weekend has made it clear that the Milton Keynes team is back in shape.
On his part, Kimi Antonelli had a challenging weekend. After not shining during practice sessions and qualifying, Antonelli managed to make a leap in his performance, securing a valuable point in the championship. The Mercedes driver has shown that it’s not necessary to win every race and that maximizing opportunities is key to his success in 2026.
Despite Antonelli’s improvement, the Mercedes update has failed to meet expectations. After the Baku GP, Verstappen expressed doubts about the team’s chances of winning, and his fears have materialized with Red Bull dominating the last tests. The Stuttgart team will need to rethink its strategy for 2027 if it wants to regain its former glory.
Ferrari continues to be a competitive force, maintaining a solid second position in the constructors’ championship, although its lack of consistent victories has generated frustration among fans. Perhaps expectations were high, but the performance has been more positive compared to last year, demonstrating that the Scuderia is not that far from regaining the level that its followers expect.
Liam Lawson, driver for Racing Bulls, has bolstered his case to keep a spot on the team for the next season. With a good performance in Singapore, which earned him a seventh place, Lawson has amassed a total of 75 points in his season, establishing himself as one of the drivers to watch for the future of the team. The decision regarding his future will be made in the coming weeks, while he continues to demonstrate his worth.
