2026 Singapore Grand Prix: Verstappen weekend sweep

Reports from BBC Sport, Autosport and Motorsport.com said Max Verstappen took pole, sprint pole, the sprint win and his first Singapore GP victory.

BBC Sport and Autosport reported that Max Verstappen completed a full Singapore Grand Prix weekend sweep in 2026, taking sprint pole, Grand Prix pole, the sprint win and then his first main-race victory at Marina Bay. Those reports said Charles Leclerc finished second on Sunday and Andrea Kimi Antonelli third. Verstappen arrived in Singapore fourth in the drivers' championship on 221 points, while Antonelli led on 340 ahead of George Russell on 238 and Lewis Hamilton on 229.

The same outlets reported that Verstappen beat Leclerc and Hamilton to pole for the Grand Prix, while BBC Sport said he started the sprint from pole and won that race after Russell crashed out of the lead. BBC Sport and Autosport also reported that Russell carried a power-unit penalty linked to his Sepang retirement and was set to start the Grand Prix from the back of the grid.

BBC Sport further reported that the Singapore weekend was designated a heat-hazard event. If those results are confirmed, the win would be Verstappen's first in Singapore and add to a career record that stands at 71 wins and 51 poles from 242 Formula 1 starts.
