Federico Albano wrote that at the Singapore GP, a new phase of dominance for Max Verstappen and Red Bull had begun. According to him, the RB22 had become more predictable after stabilizing its aerodynamics, and Verstappen had continued to perform at his best. Albano attributed the competitiveness of the car also to the low-end power of the RB-Ford PU, low drag, and the Dutch driver's tire management. Albano considered Ferrari's weekend positive, stating that they were only second to Verstappen. He wrote that Charles Leclerc had almost overtaken the Dutchman at the start, but the Ferrari had bounced after going off the curb at the pit lane exit, causing him to lose the necessary margin for a more decisive attack. According to Albano, the rear-limited characteristics of the circuit highlighted the weakness of the SF26's rear, explaining both the extreme setup chosen for Leclerc in the Sprint and the difficulties in preserving the tires during the race. He added that the updates expected for Austin would indicate the direction Ferrari was taking. Regarding Lewis Hamilton, Albano wrote that the driver could have achieved third place with a double pit stop, but chose to stay on track, perhaps to attempt to overtake Leclerc. He praised his apologies and described the potential double podium for Ferrari as a missed opportunity, which would have brought points in the Constructors' Championship; he also noted that Hamilton had finished sixth after a weekend where, in his opinion, he had been in great form. Albano also congratulated Kimi Antonelli for the podium and criticized Lando Norris's lack of responsiveness. However, he argued that Mercedes still had a weak front end and that, despite the characteristics of the circuit and the updated PU, they had only achieved the result of the third force. He concluded by indicating Austin as an important appointment for Mercedes and Ferrari, while Verstappen, according to him, would continue to aim for dominance in the final phase of the season. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Verstappen (translated)

According to him, Hamilton used medium tires for 20 laps and then soft tires for another 40, while the team did not call him to the pits during the VSC.

Mika Merano wrote that the concern over the support for the National Coalition Party had led to communication guidelines, which he claimed originated from Ellun Kanoilta or imams. He assessed that the guidelines resulted in criticism from the Finns Party and discussions about inheritance tax. Merano said he understood why the National Coalition Party did not want to eliminate inheritance tax by reducing an equivalent amount of development aid. According to him, the party's target program committed to the UN's sustainable development principles, which indicated using 0.7 percent of gross national product for development aid. Merano estimated that this meant doubling the current development aid of about one billion euros. He argued that development aid could not be cut if the goal was to increase the use of tax funds for what he described as virtue signaling and for financing, among other things, swimming pools, private zoos, and golf courses. According to him, this would be the case even if the cut would allow for the elimination of the inheritance tax. #Kokoomus #Perintövero #Kehitysapu (translated)

Luca Ruocco wrote that the washed track and low grip in qualifying favored the SF-26 chassis. According to him, Lewis Hamilton had shown pole position pace in the sectors, but he failed to convert it in Q3. Charles Leclerc, on the other hand, narrowly missed pole despite not feeling perfectly comfortable, giving his all in the decisive moments. #F1 #SingaporeGP #F1 #Formula1 #Motorsport (translated)

The mustache is going to stay. I'm going to keep it for a week. I always wanted to jump on the court at least once with a mustache. Before Tokyo, we said with the team: 'Okay, if I win the tournament, we all have to grow mustaches.' And here I am, playing with a mustache. I think it's going to be fun. We were laughing and just having a good time with all of this. #Alcaraz #Tenis #Masters1000 (translated)

Francky Longo reported that Raul Fernandez accused Marco Bezzecchi of deliberately pushing him towards the outside of the track, forcing him to cross the white line.

Fernandez specified that he could accept a mistake, but he called an intentional maneuver a matter of sporting respect. Longo concluded by using vulgar words towards those who had accused Marc Márquez. #MotoGP #MotoGP #Sportività #Corse (translated)
