Kimi Antonelli has his hands on the 2026 world championship after extending his lead at the Singapore Grand Prix. The 20-year-old Mercedes driver finished third around Marina Bay and now sits on 340 points, with a mathematical chance to clinch the title at the next race in Austin. If Antonelli wins in Texas and George Russell finishes ninth or worse, he'll become the youngest world champion in Formula 1 history. That's absolutely massive for Mercedes and their future.

Things went the opposite direction for Lewis Hamilton, who suffered a brutal afternoon at Singapore. Starting third, the Ferrari driver opted for a one-stop strategy that left him running ancient soft tyres late in the race. He lost positions and eventually crossed the line sixth, getting passed by Oscar Piastri right at the finish. It's the sort of call that'll sting for a while, especially when you're fighting for points in a championship battle.

Max Verstappen marked his second consecutive victory by finally winning Singapore for the first time in his career. The Red Bull driver finished seven seconds clear of Charles Leclerc, who salvaged second for Ferrari. Verstappen's now just eight points behind Hamilton in the standings and very much still in the title conversation. With Hamilton's struggles and Verstappen's recent form, Red Bull are definitely applying serious pressure to everyone around them.

The Constructors' battle shows Mercedes still holding first place with eleven wins from seventeen races, but Red Bull are hunting them down. McLaren, meanwhile, are seeing their grip on third weaken after a disappointing Singapore outing. Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both finished outside the points, while Isack Hadjar added some damage points for Red Bull with a recovery drive from the back.
