Carlos Sainz’s last two races:

• Brought Williams its 1st podium in a full-distance race since 2017
• Brought Williams its 1st points in a Singapore GP since 2017

Did 50 laps on the medium tyre today. Gained 8 places. He’s in his best form of the season.

Lando Norris has gained 12 points on Oscar Piastri over the last 3 GP weekends.

At that pace, Lando would enter Abu Dhabi only trailing Piastri by 2 points, setting us up for a epic finale 👀

🚨 Who needs hopium: Max Verstappen didn't win in Singapore but he can still become drivers' champion without any McLaren DNFs if the final 6 GPs play out like this.

Do you believe?

Gap between top McLaren & Red Bull in Singapore FP2

2024: McLaren 0.871s faster than Red Bull
2025: McLaren 0.143s faster than Red Bull

It feels like Red Bull & Max did read all the mean stats about Singapore.

Oscar Piastri & Max Verstappen were really the only front-runners to string multiple race sim laps together in Singapore FP2

Long run averages:
Max Verstappen (S) - 34.326
Oscar Piastri (S) - 34.460

Small sample size though.
