What happened: Max Verstappen won at Sepang ahead of Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton. McLaren enters Singapore defending its lead in the constructors standings.

Why it matters: Red Bull closed within 18 points after Verstappen's Sepang victory, tightening the title fight. Singapore rewards low-speed balance and clean pit execution on a street layout with few passing zones.

What to watch: Qualifying order and safety-car timing will set the Singapore result.
