Score Ratings

Max Verstappen

9.8

In Singapore, Verstappen turned Red Bull’s strong pace into a dominant weekend. He made the most of the team’s recent updates and delivered when it mattered, winning the Sprint, taking pole and claiming victory in the Grand Prix. He resisted the Ferraris’ early pressure, then controlled the pace without appearing at risk of losing the lead. His first win at the circuit, on his tenth attempt, was an almost perfect performance and showed how difficult he is to beat in a fast, balanced car.

Liam Lawson

8.7

Lawson continued his strong run with a complete performance for Racing Bulls. He reached Q3, scored points in both races and had the pace to stay ahead of much of the midfield. Starting on soft tyres helped him pass Gasly in the opening metres, and he made the most of that advantage. He finished fifth in the Sprint and seventh in the Grand Prix. With his seat at the team under discussion, he delivered another consistent drive and showed confidence in the car and the team’s decisions.

Charles Leclerc

8.6

Leclerc was the driver who came closest to challenging Verstappen throughout the weekend. He missed pole by just 0.054 seconds, finished on the Sprint podium and kept close to the leader in the opening laps of the Grand Prix. Ferrari, however, did not have enough pace to turn that proximity into a fight for the win. Second place was a strong result and close to the best the team could realistically expect. Leclerc showed speed and consistency, even if Red Bull proved stronger in the key sessions.

Nico Hulkenberg

8.4

Among the midfield drivers, Hulkenberg made some of the best use of the opportunities available. Although Audi did not reach Q3, he scored points in the Sprint and finished eighth in the Grand Prix with a mature, largely error-free drive. His strong start helped overcome the team’s recent struggles in that area, and his pace allowed him to keep Russell behind in the closing laps. After several races in which he had narrowly missed out on points, he turned his effort into tangible results in Singapore.

Kimi Antonelli

7.9

Antonelli spent the weekend adapting to Mercedes’ updates, while Russell ran an older package. After a difficult Sprint Qualifying session, he grew more confident in the car and improved considerably in main qualifying, taking fourth on the grid. He then fought his way onto the podium, despite brake concerns and a few close encounters with track limits. His recovery showed maturity and strong race management. The result was also important for his title campaign, even though the weekend was not without its difficulties.

Isack Hadjar

7.6

Red Bull reliability problems limited Hadjar before the Grand Prix had even begun. He retired from the Sprint and could not set a qualifying time, which meant starting the main race from the pit lane, a particularly difficult position at a circuit where overtaking is challenging. Even so, he worked his way through the field and reached the points. His recovery was one of the weekend’s positives and showed that he could stay focused and take opportunities after a frustrating Saturday.

Oliver Bearman

7.5

Bearman led Haas throughout the weekend and finished ahead of Ocon in every session. His strongest performance came in the Sprint, where he made an important pass on Gasly and took advantage of the McLaren collision to finish sixth and score points. He qualified 12th for the main race but did not have the pace to repeat that result on Sunday. Even so, he made several effective moves in the midfield, including at unusual overtaking spots. It was a productive weekend for Haas, although the Grand Prix brought less reward.

Oscar Piastri

6.8

Piastri made a strong start to the weekend, qualifying fourth for the Sprint ahead of Norris. On the final lap, however, he was hit by his team-mate, spun and crashed. In the Grand Prix, he faced McLaren’s lack of pace and a slow puncture that forced an extra pit stop. Despite those setbacks, he recovered to fifth and passed Hamilton on track. His Sunday drive was solid, but the collision and other problems kept the overall weekend from being stronger.

Lewis Hamilton

6.7

Saturday was a high point for Hamilton. A superb start moved him from sixth to second in the Sprint, and he then qualified third for the Grand Prix. On Sunday, he spent much of the race in a podium position and showed the pace to finish further up the order. His decision to stay out on worn tyres while Leclerc pitted under the Virtual Safety Car proved costly and dropped him to sixth. After the race, Hamilton took responsibility for the strategic choice.

Pierre Gasly

6.6

Gasly once again showed strong one-lap speed, taking Alpine into Q3 and giving the team a chance to fight for points. The decision to start on medium tyres did not work in his favour. Lawson, on softs, passed him in the opening metres. Gasly finished ninth in the Sprint and 11th in the Grand Prix, narrowly missing the points in both races. He also reported rear-end difficulties, which affected his performance on a high-downforce circuit. His qualifying pace was strong, but he lacked the race pace to convert it into points.

Lando Norris

6.3

Norris finished fourth in the Grand Prix, probably close to the best result McLaren’s pace allowed that weekend. The team arrived in Singapore behind its rivals on a circuit that had seemed likely to suit the car, and Norris could not challenge for a podium. The most damaging moment came in the Sprint, when he made contact with Piastri and sent his team-mate into a spin and the wall. The collision compromised both drivers’ races and weighed heavily in Norris’s assessment. His Sunday result was solid, but it did not erase Saturday’s mistake.

Carlos Sainz

6.2

Despite the limitations of the Williams, Sainz made progress and comfortably led the team’s internal battle with Albon. He started the Sprint from the pit lane and worked his way up to 12th, reached Q2 in main qualifying and finished 14th in the Grand Prix. The final position may look modest, but the car did not have the pace to fight for points. For a driver accustomed to competing for podiums, racing in the midfield is frustrating, and he was also beaten by Bearman in the main race. Still, Sainz appeared to get close to the maximum available from the car.

George Russell

6.1

Russell showed speed in practice and Sprint Qualifying, then made an excellent start to take the lead in the Sprint. The mistake came at the end of the first lap, when he crashed and threw away a genuine chance of a strong result. An engine change also forced him to start the Grand Prix from the back of the grid. On Sunday, he responded well and recovered to ninth, trying to catch Hulkenberg in the closing laps. The recovery was positive, but it could not undo Saturday’s crash.

Esteban Ocon

6.0

Ocon made a reasonable start and finished tenth in the Sprint, but spent the weekend behind Bearman and never threatened his team-mate’s points haul. He finished 13th in the main race without enough pace to move through the field. He also reported a loss of performance in the second half of the race, a problem that had appeared at previous rounds. He made no major errors, but lacked both speed and standout moments. With Haas scoring Sprint points, Ocon’s weekend felt subdued.

Fernando Alonso

5.3

Aston Martin expected Singapore to suit its car, but the performance never materialised. Alonso qualified only 17th and finished the Grand Prix in the same position, without the pace to get near the points. The Sprint offered no clear chance to recover, and he had few opportunities to influence the result. The promising signs from the previous round did not carry over, leaving the team short of its expectations. It was a quiet weekend, with the car’s pace limiting any attempt to move forward.

Arvid Lindblad

5.1

Lindblad showed speed in qualifying and reached Q3, suggesting that a better result was possible. In the races, however, he could not turn that pace into positions. He lost ground in the Sprint and dropped from 10th to 15th in the Grand Prix. A battle with Sainz at the start also left him on the back foot, and the car did not have enough pace to make up the lost ground. There was promise over one lap, but the races were inconsistent and ended without points.

Sergio Perez

5.0

Perez again tried to get the most out of an uncompetitive Cadillac. Contact with Stroll ended his Sprint almost immediately, and qualifying 20th made Sunday’s recovery difficult. He finished the Grand Prix 17th, reflecting both the car’s limitations and his starting position. It was not a weekend with many standout moments, but rather one in which he persevered and brought the Cadillac to the finish. He now turns his attention to the Austin and Mexico rounds.

Franco Colapinto

4.9

Colapinto had little opportunity to build momentum over the weekend. He retired from the Sprint, hit the wall on his final qualifying lap and then suffered a problem related to the transmission or drivetrain in the Grand Prix. In the main race, he was still close to the group fighting for points when he had to retire. The result was frustrating, especially because the technical failure ended a race in which he could still have moved forward. A troubled weekend from the outset left his race pace difficult to assess.

Gabriel Bortoleto

4.3

Bortoleto retired from the Sprint in the incident involving Albon and Bottas, with little room to avoid the outcome. He qualified 15th for the main race and lost positions at the start, leaving him with a difficult task to reach the points. A team-related problem ended his race before the finish, although the race was already compromised. It was a difficult weekend, and the Sprint incident and technical failure further reduced his chances to show what he could do.

Lance Stroll

4.0

Stroll’s Sprint ended on the opening lap after contact with Pérez, an incident for which neither driver was penalised. He started the Grand Prix from the pit lane and tried to recover positions, but a clutch problem ended his race before halfway. His starting position had already made the task difficult, and the mechanical issue removed the chance to move forward. With no completed race and little running in the other, he came away without a meaningful result.

Alexander Albon

3.5

Albon struggled with the brakes and could not match Sainz over the weekend, although Saturday initially looked more promising. The Sprint ended in a three-car incident that also involved Bortoleto and Bottas. In the Grand Prix, he retired late in the race, completing a frustrating round for Williams. The car appeared somewhat more competitive against some rivals, but its problems and Albon’s pace relative to his team-mate meant he could not take advantage of that improvement.

Valtteri Bottas

2.5

Bottas lacked pace in qualifying and found it even harder to compete in the races. He was caught up in the Sprint collision with Albon and Bortoleto, then started the Grand Prix 21st in the Cadillac. The main positive was reaching the finish, but he ended the race three laps behind the winner and was never in contention for points. It was a very difficult weekend, with few opportunities taken and little performance to highlight.
