Resurgent Verstappen wins Singapore Grand Prix for first time

Max Verstappen secured his first win of the 2026 Formula One season by triumphing in the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, marking a perfect weekend for Red Bull. Verstappen outpaced Ferrari's Charles Leclerc by 7.335 seconds at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, while championship leader Kimi Antolinelli finished third for Mercedes. Verstappen, who had never won or achieved a pole position in nine previous attempts, expressed satisfaction with his performance, noting that the team had pace when needed on both soft and medium tyres.

McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri rounded out the top five, with Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton dropping from third to sixth due to a poor tyre strategy.
