What happened: Toto Wolff said in-form Red Bull will be central at the front of the Formula 1 field. He expects a full-on fight among the leaders carrying into 2027.

Why it matters: Red Bull has returned to winning form after an extended winless start to 2026. A sustained resurgence would tighten the front-running battle as development focus shifts to next year's rules.

By the numbers: Singapore: Verstappen won from pole ahead of Leclerc and Antonelli, with Norris fourth and Piastri fifth. Hamilton qualified third and finished sixth.

What to watch: Watch Austin to see whether Red Bull carries its late-season pace into the next round.
