The Singapore Grand Prix weekend delivered unexpected twists and turns, with Mercedes' George Russell emerging as the dominant force while drama unfolded throughout the field. The event showcased both the highs and lows of Formula 1, from teammate tensions to surprising performance shifts that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Mercedes demonstrated remarkable pace, with George Russell commanding the proceedings in what turned out to be a surprising performance at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The hot and steamy conditions in Singapore provided an unlikely setting for Mercedes' success, as Russell's performance exceeded all expectations [1].
Tension emerged within the McLaren camp as teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri made contact during the race. While Norris faced accusations of aggressive driving, he firmly rejected these assertions regarding his move on Piastri during the start [2].
Ferrari's struggles continued despite their experimental approach to the weekend. The team had identified Singapore as one of their potential strong venues for the remainder of 2025, but their extreme experiments failed to yield the desired results [3].
The weekend proved particularly challenging for Yuki Tsunoda, who experienced what he described as his "worst start ever." Red Bull team principal Laurent Mekies characterized Tsunoda's first lap as "certainly shocking," highlighting the Japanese driver's struggles at Marina Bay [4].
