Singapore Grand Prix preview
1. Verstappen’s victory lap?
Are you ready for some permutations? Let’s operate on the basis that Max Verstappen wins the Singapore Grand Prix with the fastest lap.
If he does so, Charles Leclerc must finish seventh or above to stop him. Or Sergio Perez must finish on the podium.
2. A tricky track to navigate
Singapore is notoriously difficult to get around and it’s an energy-sapping slog that will demand each driver demonstrates their superhuman physicality that often goes under-appreciated.
3. Who drives for Williams?
Alex Albon suffered respiratory failure during surgery in Italy meaning Nyck De Vries was called up to replace him.
He seized his opportunity and secured a stunning ninth-place finish, a humiliating result for teammate Nicholas Latifi, who remains without a point. De Vries will be ready to step in should Albon fail to make an appropriate recovery in time.
