With its high heat and humidity, the Singapore Grand Prix is one of the toughest races of the year for both car and driver.

Oscar Piastri’s win last week at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix put McLaren top in the teams’ standings — the key to F1’s lavish prize money — but teammate Norris only took a small bite out of Verstappen’s lead.

Initially there were doubts about holding events in the evening, and on the streets of a city, but they faded quickly.

Daniel Ricciardo has not ruled out the possibility that this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix could be his last in Formula 1, as RB prepares to make a decision about his future.
