So Hamilton apologised to Ferrari for his own strategy calls in that one, and it seems he was called into the pits to double stack behind Leclerc but missed the entry #F1 #SingaporeGP

After back-to-back victories and a clean sweep this weekend, it feels like Verstappen has every chance of finishing P2 in the championship #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:54 PM

Antonelli leads Russell by 102 points in the drivers' championship now, and needs a 125-point lead leaving Austin to be champion

Hamilton (+111), Verstappen (+119), Leclerc (+125) and Norris (+139) can all technically still delay it too #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:48 PM

P4 for Norris ahead of Piastri, with Hamilton sixth. Another very good performance from Lawson in P7 ahead of Hulkenberg, Russell and Hadjar #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:47 PM

Max Verstappen wins the Singapore Grand Prix for the first time!

Charles Leclerc is second, and Kimi Antonelli comes home third to put the drivers' championship within reach

#F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:45 PM

And Piastri is through before the final lap starts #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:42 PM

Piastri reeling in Hamilton for P5. This Ferrari strategy really hasn't worked out on Hamilton's side of the garage #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:37 PM

No further action for Hamilton #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:37 PM

Antonelli now five seconds clear of Norris as well, so even if he does get a time penalty he's negated it #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:34 PM

Antonelli is through on Hamilton. He's up to P3

Norris then gets by into Turn 10 for P4, with Hamilton under investigation for leaving the track and gaining an advantage #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:32 PM

Norris attacks at Turn 1, both he and Hamilton go deep, Hamilton rejoins following the bollard but Antonelli passes Norris on the exit and is now on the Ferrari #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:32 PM

Hamilton, Norris and Antonelli now in a line, with Hamilton really struggling on old softs

Not had confirmation of Antonelli's time penalty yet for track limits so perhaps the stewards felt there was a justifiable reason #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:30 PM

Leclerc now nine seconds back as Verstappen also catches traffic.

Verstappen has radio issues and Red Bull has to get him to not say anything to give an answer on strategy #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:28 PM

Verstappen's been wide at the final corner and lost some time to Leclerc. Gap now down to 11s #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:24 PM

Norris is reeling in Hamilton now, just three seconds behind. Antonelli coming with him too

Leclerc is about half a second per lap quicker than Verstappen in clear air but doesn't have enough laps to close a 13s gap #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:22 PM

Antonelli exceeds track limits again - that's going to be a five-second time penalty. Fortunately he's 25s ahead of Piastri, but that will hurt his chances of passing and pulling clear of Norris #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:20 PM

Smoothly done into Turn 7. Lost some time to Verstappen ahead but traffic is also playing a role in that #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:18 PM

Leclerc is quick after his pit stop and cruises up to the back of Hamilton - Ferrari needs to switch the drivers here #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:16 PM

Mercedes thinks it's heat soak and the brake pedal has now returned to normal. Antonelli 4.4s behind Norris and closing for P4 #F1 #SingaporeGP

@chrismedlandf1.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:13 PM

Slow puncture for Piastri and he pits but stays P6 #F1 #SingaporeGP
