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)

Juanca recalled Fernando Alonso's results in Singapore: the victory in 2008, the podium in 2009 with a car he described as very bad, the Grand Chelem in 2010, one of his best starts in 2013, and a great start with podium options in 2017. He also noted that rain was expected that weekend and that the circuit suited the AM best, and wondered what Alonso could do that year with the green car. #F1 #Alonso #Singapur (translated)

Federico Albano described the race in Sepang as unpredictable and credited Max Verstappen with a well-deserved victory. According to him, the updates had made the Red Bull more predictable and suited to the characteristics required this season. He added that Verstappen had made the difference in the wet and that the Red Bull pit wall had managed the strategy flawlessly, even with the last pit stop, which in his opinion was the correct choice despite the driver relinquishing the first position. Albano assessed Kimi Antonelli's performance positively, finishing second: he described him as fast and mature and wrote that he had overtaken George Russell. He predicted that he would win the title. Regarding Russell's zero points, he noted that the risk related to the decision not to change the power unit in Baku had materialized, which had ended his championship bid. He also pointed to the Mercedes updates as a technical theme to be re-evaluated starting from Singapore. The commentator described Lewis Hamilton as "phenomenal" and praised his race, while criticizing Ferrari's management. He wrote that the team had misjudged the initial tire choice and questioned the decision to put medium tires on Hamilton after his first stint on softs. In his view, the safety car had given him the chance to secure a well-deserved podium. Albano also appreciated Charles Leclerc's comeback, although he considered him less competitive than Hamilton over the weekend, and noted that the Ferraris had finished third and fourth ahead of a McLaren that he deemed to be struggling in various aspects. He finally reminded that there were seven races left until the end. #F1 #Formula1 #Sepang (translated)
