2026 Singapore Grand Prix Sprint results

Verstappen wins in Singapore

Having already taken the win in the Singapore Sprint, Verstappen started from pole in the Grand prix and squeezed Leclerc to the inside of Turn 1, giving him a wider angle into the first corner and enabling him to hold the lead. 

The Red Bull driver pitted on Lap 32, while still retaining the lead, before going on to take the chequered flag 7.335 seconds ahead of Leclerc.

Antonelli closes in on title 

After taking fourth in the Sprint, Kimi Antonelli started fourth and held position through the opening lap, before being promoted to third when Hamilton stopped on Lap 18.

Antonelli followed suit, pitting from third on Lap 23, switching to medium tyres and rejoining still behind Hamilton. He made a second stop on Lap 39 under Virtual Safety Car, dropping to fifth behind Norris.

With Hamilton and Norris fighting ahead of him, Antonelli took advantage, seizing fourth from Norris on Lap 54 before following it up with a move on Hamilton a lap later to take the final podium place. 

He finished third, 24.573 seconds behind Verstappen, collecting 15 championship points and moving to within touching distance of the drivers' championship. His first opportunity to clinch the title will arrive in Austin next time out.

Strategy struggles for Hamilton 

Hamilton started third and held position through the opening lap, before becoming the first of the front-runners to pit on Lap 18. He made the switch to soft tyres and rejoined in seventh.

On Lap 39, Leclerc made his second stop under the Virtual Safety Car, which dropped him behind Hamilton, but fresher tyres allowed the Monegasque to retake the position.

Hamilton then lost out to both Norris and Antonelli in the final eight laps, before coming under pressure from Piastri. The McLaren driver completed the move on the final tour, relegating Hamilton to sixth and leaving him with eight championship points, a day after finishing second in the Sprint.

Norris takes fourth for McLaren

Norris started fifth and held position through the opening laps, before pitting on Lap 32 and rejoining in the same position.

Antonelli, who was running ahead, pitted under the Virtual Safety Car on Lap 39, promoting Norris to fourth. The McLaren driver was passed by Antonelli on Lap 54, but got the better of Hamilton in the closing laps to finish fourth.

Russell recovers from 19th to ninth

George Russell started 19th on the grid after his Bahrain Grand Prix retirement left him with an engine penalty, but moved forward in the opening phases and was up to 13th by Lap 8.

He had climbed as high as seventh by the time the Virtual Safety Car was called on Lap 39, making his one and only pit stop as the VSC came to an end. Russell rejoined on soft tyres in 10th, before taking ninth in the final laps.

Bearman finishes 12th while Lindblad takes 15th

Oliver Bearman started 11th and battled with Haas team-mate Esteban Ocon over 10th early on, and eventually finished 12th, while Arvid Lindblad started ninth but dropped down to 15th at the flag.
