Formula 1’s 2026 season entered its final stretch with a floodlit Singapore Grand Prix weekend. Saturday’s sprint race was delayed 30 minutes due to standing water on the wet street circuit. George Russell led early on intermediates but crashed out on lap two after misjudging a corner and touching a painted white line, which is extremely slippery in the rain.
The incident promoted Max Verstappen to the lead, who went on to win the sprint. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc struggled with tire overheating as the track dried, finishing behind Verstappen. Sunday’s main race saw Verstappen aiming for his first Singapore victory, though he emphasized his focus was on tomorrow’s event.
The sprint format remains unloved by drivers due to lack of prestige and risk to Sunday’s race.
