Four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen has reflected on sharing his first Singapore Grand Prix victory with his departing race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase. The Dutch driver secured his second win of the season at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, claiming pole position for both the sprint and the main race. Verstappen and Lambiase, who will join McLaren as chief racing officer, secured the top spot on the podium.
Verstappen, speaking at the post-race press conference, expressed surprise at sharing the podium with his soon-to-depart engineer, noting that Lambiase had previously warned him that it might be his last podium appearance. The Red Bull driver joked that he had almost jinxed himself, but nevertheless, sharing the podium on a track they had not previously won together was a special moment.
Currently sitting fourth in the drivers' standings with 221 points, Verstappen trails championship leader Kimi Antonelli by 119 points.
