LIVE: 2025 F1 Singapore Grand Prix
Round 18 of the 2025 Formula 1 season descends on the iconic Marina Bay Circuit for the Singapore Grand Prix. After a dramatic qualifying session, fans are set for a race that could redefine the championship picture as the season nears its climax.
Pole Position Shocks the Grid
George Russell produced a standout lap to clinch pole position, grabbing the best starting place for lights out in Singapore. The Mercedes driver has been quietly building momentum and now has a clear shot at adding another victory to his season tally. On a track known for its demanding tempo, Russell’s pace on this street circuit sets the tone for a high-stakes race under the city’s night lights.
Front-Row Face-Off: Verstappen Right Behind
Max Verstappen lines up alongside Russell on the front row, ready to apply immediate pressure in Singapore. The four-time world champion enters the race with everything to gain and less to lose, knowing that a win here would keep the pressure on his rivals in a season where every podium and every point matters.
McLaren Eyes a Strong Showing
Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris start from third and fifth, respectively, as McLaren aims to climb the order in a track that rewards precise execution and strategic pit stops. The team will be looking to convert pace into consistent performance across the demanding Marina Bay circuit, a venue notorious for its tight corners and heavy braking zones.
What to Watch For
– Strategy and tire management: Singapore’s humid climate and bumpy street circuit surface test drivers’ endurance and engineers’ call-making. A well-timed pit stop could swing the race in favor of the crews who navigate traffic efficiently during the safety car periods.
– The long Marina Bay straight and tight chicanes will demand clean exits and strong aero balance. Overtaking opportunities might come at the start, end of straights, or through clever use of DRS down the main straight.
– Championship implications: With the title contenders spectating from a short distance away, every lap could influence the standings. Expect calculated risk-taking and race-management from teams chasing precise points that matter later in the season.

Predictions and Possibilities
While Russell is the standout pole starter, the ever-present risk of a safety car or a strategic masterstroke from the pit wall could redefine the podium order. Verstappen’s relentless pace means he’ll be pushing from the front, while McLaren’s two-pronged attack offers an alternative route to glory for fans of the British outfit. In Singapore, drama often arrives late, and a late-race strategy call could be the deciding factor for who stands atop the podium.
