Max Verstappen claimed his first Singapore Grand Prix victory on Sunday, leading Charles Leclerc and Kimi Antonelli to the finish. Verstappen held off Leclerc at the start, while Lewis Hamilton's strategy proved costly, allowing Antonelli to secure a podium finish and extend his championship lead. Antonelli reported brake issues on lap 32 but Mercedes remained unfazed as Verstappen pitted safely. George Russell battled from 19th to ninth after a grid drop. The Red Bull driver crossed the line 7.3 seconds clear of Leclerc, with Hamilton collapsing to sixth after a grueling 44-lap stint on softs.
