Russell Wins Singapore; Verstappen Accuses Norris

George Russell took a surprise pole and went on to win the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen recovering from second on the grid to finish runner-up. After qualifying Verstappen accused Lando Norris of breaching unwritten etiquette by slowing and creating dirty air on his final Q3 lap, saying it cost him pole and declining to "clear the air" with Norris. Oscar Piastri started third and McLaren underperformed relative to expectations around the bumpy Marina Bay street circuit. The result underlined Red Bull's improved competitiveness on high‑downforce tracks and highlighted rising on‑track tension as Norris has emerged as a title threat. Off the F1 calendar, Verstappen also debuted in GT3 at the Nürburgring Nordschleife on an off weekend and dominated the NLS race, boosting interest in the series.
