<\/a>Alex Albon, who starts in the pit-lane:<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels a bit dry here, but I\u2019m hoping the weather creates some chaos.

I want to get a cooling vest!\u201d<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson5 October 2025 12:51<\/p>\n <\/a>McLaren CEO Zak Brown:<\/p>\n \u201cGeorge put in two good laps, they seem very quick, Max is there or thereabouts but we have good race-pace – I\u2019m optimistic.<\/p>\n On constructors\u2019 championship: \u201cThat\u2019s goal No 1, hopefully we can get two cars on the podium:<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson5 October 2025 12:50<\/p>\n <\/a>Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur, on the Singapore grid:<\/p>\n \u201cSector two is quite wet, sector one and three is dry side, it won\u2019t be easy. It\u2019s an opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson5 October 2025 12:48<\/p>\n <\/a>Singapore national anthem on the grid:<\/p>\n Performed by Singapore Airlines crew and the Voices of Singapore at the front of the grid. <\/p>\n Kieran Jackson5 October 2025 12:45<\/p>\n <\/a>Ollie Bearman, who starts P9:<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels dry but sector two still a bit of standing water. I think the inter will be faster for one lap, there\u2019ll still be another half-an-hour until the race.\u201d<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson5 October 2025 12:41<\/p>\n <\/a>Lando Norris, ahead of the race:<\/p>\n On issues with car: \u201cNot enough downforce, not the best day yesterday but it\u2019s a long race. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s always a challenge to race here, we need to overtake – it\u2019s always tricky but we\u2019ll give it our best shot.\u201d<\/p>\n Kieran Jackson5 October 2025 12:38<\/p>\n <\/a>How can McLaren win the F1 constructors\u2019 championship in Singapore?<\/p>\n Ahead of round 18 this weekend in Singapore, there are 346 points left to play for. McLaren\u2019s lead currently stands at 333 points over Mercedes.<\/p>\n Therefore, McLaren will seal the title this weekend if they simply score 13 points. Thus, a podium for either Norris or Piastri will be enough. <\/p>\n Ferrari can also catch McLaren statistically, so McLaren will become champions if the papaya:<\/p>\n Not outscored by Mercedes by 31 points or moreNot outscored by Ferrari by 35 points or more Kieran Jackson5 October 2025 12:35<\/p>\n <\/a>Singapore GP preview: Singapore GP tends to produce chaos \u2013 Max Verstappen knows that better than most<\/p>\n Stalling on the start line in his rookie year, 2015 gave Max Verstappen<\/a> his first indication that the Marina Bay Street Circuit may be his trickiest nut to crack in F1. A decade ago, the 18-year-old, driving for Red Bull<\/a>\u2019s sister team, Toro Rosso, stormed back to eighth from a lap down before defiantly screaming \u201cNo!\u201d to his team when asked to let teammate Carlos Sainz past. It\u2019s fair to say we\u2019ve seen numerous instances of non-compliance a fair few times in the years since.<\/p>\n Two years on, Verstappen would be sandwiched between two Ferraris and powerless to a collision with Kimi Raikkonen, in F1\u2019<\/a>s first-ever wet race at night in 2017, which brought about one of the most chaotic start procedures in recent history<\/a>. In 2022, a fuel quantity mishap in qualifying ruined the Dutchman\u2019s weekend, while a year later, Singapore<\/a> was the only race Red Bull failed to win amid an otherwise peerless F1 campaign<\/a>. Verstappen couldn\u2019t even finish on the podium, having to settle for fifth.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2239112773.jpg\")
