Max Verstappen saved one of those days that could give you the title or give your rival wings Singapore. The Dutch driver, on a track completely opposite his car, was able to maximize his result and minimize his losses, which seemed to be huge before the start of the weekend. The champion nails it and stays clear leader of the 2024 F1 World Championship classification after the Singapore GP, used to have a good mattress Lando Norris.
Weeks passed and despite having the best car, Lando failed to give Max a major blow in the overall standings. So, despite their massive superiority, they left Marina Bay with 7 points less than a World Cup disadvantage.
SA missing 6 races, Verstappen leads with a 51-point margin in the 2024 F1 World Championship classification after the Singapore GP.
Circuits like Singapore seemed like a big trap for Max at a time when he was suffering so much with his car. But now there are more ‘normal’ routes like Austin and there Red Bull can perform better.
Lando needs to keep attacking, as he tried to do this Sunday. In fact, he could have left with another point in his locker if not for Red Bull to use one of the their RB ‘B’ cars, that of Ricciardo, to wrest the fastest lap from the English contender.
In its part, Piastri moves closer to third position in the 2024 F1 World Championship standings after the Singapore GP, just 8 points behind Charles Leclerc. He will reach it and have a better car for the end of the course.
while, Carlos Sainz remains in 5th position and Alonso continues to score to remain ‘best among others’, with 62 points, more than double his teammate Stroll (24 points).
