  "account": "The 62-lap Singapore Grand Prix saw Max Verstappen win the race after taking the sprint race just 24 hours earlier. Two days running, software glitches had caused issues for the 2026 generation of cars. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff slammed online critics who suggested the team had favoured Kimi Antonelli over George Russell this season. The Singapore street circuit was criticized for its lack of overtaking opportunities, with drivers calling for modifications to enable more wheel-to-wheel racing.",
  "summary": "Drivers seemed to agree Singapore's first F1 sprint should be its last unless Marina Bay Street Circuit offers more overtaking opportunities.",
