Finally someone stopped the Red Bulls from winning and Max from taking his 11th consecutive win. Both Ferraris were very strong in Singapore and Carlos Sainz won from pole – his 2nd consecutive one. In the final few laps, Sainz, Norris, Hamilton and Russell fought for the podium positions with the Red Bulls nowhere close to them. I’m confident this was just a race-specific issue and they will come back stronger in Suzuka this weekend.

The model votes for Max Verstappen again and it is expected despite his performance in Singapore. Let’s see if Ferrari can make it 3 poles in a row and whether the Mercedes’ or the McLarens can come close to the podium again.
