Under the blazing Italian sun, Verstappen launched from pole with clinical composure, controlling the race with his trademark efficiency.That performance alone would have cemented Monza 2025 as unforgettable, but what followed on race day elevated it into legend. McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri gave spirited chase, forcing Red Bull to push to the absolute limit, but neither could match the Dutchman’s rhythm.
Team Orders, Tension, and Triumph
Norris hounded Verstappen in the opening laps, keeping the reigning champion within striking distance, while Piastri played the perfect supporting role in third. Yet, as the stints unfolded, Verstappen’s relentless pace proved just out of reach.
McLaren strategists called for calm, instructing Norris and Piastri to swap position rather than risk everything in a wheel-to-wheel scrap. It was a pragmatic move that secured the team a valuable double podium — P2 for Norris and P3 for Piastri. The team faced heavy backlashing from fans over the papaya team orders.
“If it was the other way around, we would have done the exact same way.” – Lando Norris(post race)
Strategic Missteps Cost Mercedes

Glory Slips Away: Ferrari’s Costly Mistake at Home
The 2025 Italian Grand Prix at Monza promised to a celebration for Ferrari, but ended in bitter heartbreak for Scuderia Ferrari and their Tifosi Fans. Lewis Hamilton facing a 5 place grid penalty from the Dutch Grand Prix costed misfortune as he fought hard to put his car in the top 10 facing overtakes from Williams, Mercedes and a Sauber.

While they weren’t expected to challenge the front-runners, Williams maximized their opportunities, turning steady pace and sharp racecraft into a performance that left the paddock impressed.Qualifying set the tone, with both drivers pushing the FW47 to its limits around Monza’s long straights and heavy braking zones. Though not inside the very top of the grid, Williams positioned themselves well to fight for the lower points-paying positions – an achievement in itself given the team’s recent struggles.
Alex Albon challenged mid-field, starting all the way from P14, finished P7 scoring valuable points for the team. Willams took the strategy correct, pitted early and fought hard. Meanwhile, Carlos started from P13 finished P11, missing out points by a second. Major damage occurred when he and Ollie Bearman had a spun due to crash at the apex, amounting in damaging the front wing.
Gabriel Bortoleto Impresses with Solid Points Finish at Monza

Starting from eighth on the grid—his joint-best qualifying result to date—Bortoleto turned in a composed drive to finish eighth, earning valuable points and strengthening Sauber’s standing in the Constructors’ Championship.
“Overall, I am happy to have finished eighth and have made it back in the points: this is also important for the Constructors’ Championship… it’s been a consistent, productive one, and a good way to close the European leg of the season.” – Gabriel Borteleto(post race)
Hadjar’s Fightback Leaves a Mark in Italy

Hadjar’s qualifying ended on a sour note as he was knocked out early in Q1. His frustration were compounded when he blamed Carlos Sainz for disrupting his crucial out-lap during the session. On top of that, a new power unit forced him to start from the pit-lane, putting him at a significant disadvantage from the outset.

DRC’s 2025 Singapore GP Review: Russell’s Epic Redemption, McLaren’s Stunning Double & the Battle of the Papayas
The Singapore GP was full of crowning moments, intense battles and iron clad defenses. Join us as DRC reviews a thrilling 2025 Singapore GP.
Formula One returned to the original night race as the Marina Bay street circuit played host to the 2025 Formula One Singapore GP. George Russell won in dominating fashion from pole as McLaren clinched the constructor’s championship for second year in a row, a feat they had not achieved since the tail-end of their dominating four-peat in 1991. Max Verstappen clawed back six valuable points into the title fight as seven different constructors gathered points for the first time at the Singapore GP. Join us as we recap a thrilling Singapore GP.
Table of Contents
Russell and Mercedes dominate the Singapore GP
Mercedes grabbed up a 2-4 finish in Baku with Russell finishing on the rostrum, but crossing the finish line about 15 seconds off Verstappen surely left a bitter taste in their mouth. Come the Singapore GP, the situation looked even worse.
George Russell was the lead Mercedes in the first practice session, an entire second off the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso, ultimately finishing 11th. Kimi Antonelli was a further quarter of a second behind him, as he finished 14th.
The second practice session, which acts more like a qualifying simulation, pushed the dagger deeper. George Russell crashed out of FP2, only managing to complete six laps in total, finishing dead last. Kimi Antonelli finished 18th, two seconds off the fastest lap set by Oscar Piastri.
Calling it a “very challenging day for a multitude of reasons”, George Russell also quipped that “Singapore GP has not been the kindest to me (in the past), but that is my own doing majority of the time.”
Saturday is when Mercedes hit the ground running. After seeing the McLarens, Verstappen and Fernando Alonso show impressive pace, Mercedes turned up with some of their own. Finishing 3rd and 4th in the third practice sessions, Mercedes announced their arrival onto the scene.
The momentum though, looked to be swinging between the McLarens and the Red Bull of Verstappen. But, it was the Mercedes of George Russell who peaked at the right time, topping Q2, and then setting two blistering laps in Q3. Each lap was not only good enough for pole, but he also broke the previous Marina Bay track record with a 1m29.158s in his final attempt, securing pole for sunday’s Singapore GP.
He beat Verstappen to the premier grid slot by nearly two tenths, while Kimi Antonelli out-qualified Lando Norris’ McLaren to finish 4th.
Starting from pole, Russell never looked back, as her dominated the race and went on to win by 5.4 seconds. This is quite an emotional result for Russell. He famously crashed out from victory contention at turn 10 on the last lap here in 2023, and very nearly caused major damage as he crashed out at turn 16 in FP2. The win was redemption as Russell himself admitted the win felt “amazing, especially considering what happened here a couple of years ago.”
McLaren clinch the constructor’s crown as the Papaya war rages on
McLaren looked in the hunt for pole for the longest time. Even other teams, who were quick in their own right, expected a McLaren resurgence after their meltdown in Azerbaijan. Piastri topped the qualifying simulations in FP2, while he finished second in the third practice session.
But as the track evolved on Saturday, conditions made way for the Mercedes of Russell and the Red Bull of Verstappen as they locked out the front row. Piastri was the lead McLaren in third, while Norris slotted in exactly behind him in fifth for the Singapore GP.
The race start, was absolutely chaotic for the papayas. Both Norris and Piastri came together in the opening lap, with Norris forcing his way past Piastri to claim third spot after going deep into turn three.
Tensions boiled over, as Piastri asked that he be handed the place back, much like what he did for Norris after they made contact in Monza two races ago. McLaren, however decided against this, and left Piastri Frustrated. Although the Stewards decided not to intervene in the incident, Zak Brown admitted that “(the incident) was a nailbiter, but they race hard and they race clean”, adding that “this is something that we will have to review internally.”
Although the P3 – P4 finish was sub – standard for team Papaya, it guaranteed them their tenth world constructor’s championship. This is also their second consecutive title and their first back-back since they won four in a row in 1991. McLaren also clinched the championship with six grand prix to go, matching Red Bull’s record as the team to win the title earliest in the season, who also won it at the Singapore GP in 2023.
The Prancing Horse struggles in the city of the Lion
The Scuderia were not looking strong for the get go. Charles Leclerc finished second in the first practice, although that looked more like a flash of fortune rather than that of brilliance. The Ferraris qualified 6th and 7th, with Hamilton out-qualifying Leclerc by a tenth. The scarlet red Ferraris did manage to make the race interesting, with Lewis Hamilton putting on the soft tire to the end, trying to charge towards a potential p4 and stop McLaren from another crown.
This rhythm was cut short, as Hamilton suffered braking issues towards the end of the race while hunting down Piastri for fourth, ultimately crossing the line in seventh but fell down to eighth after failing brakes caused him to violate track limits multiple times over the allowed upper bound. Singapore has developed quite a reputation for brake failure, with multiple instances being observed primarily due to the hot and humid conditions.
Hamilton now takes on a rather infamous Ferrari record, having gone 18 races without a Sunday podium for the Scuderia, which is their longest podium drought for a single driver ever. Leclerc finished 6th, meaning that he has gone for five races without a trip to the rostrum.
As Ferrari continue to struggle, this result is a setback. The SF 25 is car that is suited to slow to medium paced corners, which means heavy downforce races like Monaco, Hungary and the Singapore GP. Finishing fifth and eighth is one thing, you may have bad days, but being completely outclassed and outpaced by your competitors is a surely a sign of worry for the Scuderia.
Verstappen outscores McLaren as Alonso, Bearman impress
After completing a perfect weekend in Baku, which saw him earn a sixth career grand slam, Max Verstappen looked quick right from the get go on the Marina. He was the only driver to manage a top – 3 finish in all three practice sessions, ending FP3 at the top of the timesheets.
Qualifying was a different matter though. After trading places with George Russell and eventually falling to him in Q2, Verstappen could not even manage to get within a touching distance of either of Russell’s flying laps, both of which were good enough for a new lap record around Singapore. After qualifying P2, Verstappen looked to be set up for a perfect attack off the rip at Russell, to claim a Singapore GP win, and win on every circuit on this year’s calendar.
Coming raceday, Verstappen himself admitted that all hopes for the win ended after turn 1, and that “P2 finish was the best case scenario after the lengthy battle with Lando Norris.” Verstappen went on to say that “… it was more difficult than I had hoped…”, and that he was “… struggling with the upshifts and downshifts of the car”, admitting that the car was behaving in a way that is not considered ideal for street circuits.
Over on to the other end of the pitlane, the Aston Martin Fernando Alonso was impressive pace wise at the start of the weekend. Having topped FP1, the Spaniard lined up in the tenth grid box, managing to reach Q3 against quicker cars of Lawson and Tsunoda. His pace on race day was spot on as well, as he climbed up another three places to clinch a seventh place, and bring home six important points. This is an important points finish for Aston Martin, as they battle with Racing Bulls for sixth in the Constructors, trailing them with four points currently.
Another driver who impressed all over the weekend was Oliver Bearman, who qualified and finished ninth, gaining two crucial points for Haas in his fifth points finish this season. This gives Haas an opportunity to catch up to Sauber in the constructors championship for eighth in their battle.

Azerbaijan Ascendancy: Victory for Verstappen, Redemption for Williams on the Caspian Streets
Baku never disappoints — and the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was no exception. On the twisting streets along the Caspian Sea, drama unfolded at every turn, with crashes, safety cars, and strategy gambles keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Verstappen launched cleanly from the front, but the chasing pack wasted no time in piling on the pressure. A first-lap incident, Oscar Piastri crashing into the wall, immediately brought out the safety car, setting the tone for a race that would be dictated as much by chaos as by speed.
Behind him, heartbreak struck: a bold Ferrari challenge ended with a nasty strategies , while McLaren’s podium dreams dissolved in the pits. Max opting for a medium – downforce package, striking a balance between the long straight speed and tight middle sectors. This gave him a strong top-end speed without compromising too much of the grip he received. His first stint on the softs paved him way as he managed effectively extending their life. Second stint on hards, won him the race. McLaren tried to undercut by pitting early, failed to do so due to the traffic and a slow stop (4 seconds) stationed them behind the Ferraris and Yuki in his Redbull. Verstappen tamed his rivals once again.
His teammate, Yuki scored P6 fighting a Williams, McLaren and a Ferrari. Proving consistency is key.
The Underdog Roars: Williams Shocks Baku
Williams arrived in Baku with a bold philosophy “strip the car for straight-line speed”.While others opted for stability in the tight castle track,Williams gambled on a low-drag system that made them the fastest car through the speed traps. Carlos Sainz secured his first podium of this year, making it a Willaims’s podium after 4 years.
Setup changes were a huge plus to Carlos Sainz’s driving style, qualifying on the front row with Max. While Alex Albon struggled to make it into Q2, Carlos Sainz put up an extraordinary lap all together. As carnage erupted in the midfield on lap 1, the drivers kept their noses clean, climbing places without having to give away some of the risky moves. Due to the safety car neutralising the race, they extended their first stint on softs. Due to the pitstop, he received an undercut from Russel as he stole the spot with one of the cleanest pitstop from Mercedes.
The joy among the fans all over were humongous. The defensive driving was flawless,calm, calculated, and uncompromising. When the checkered flag fell, Williams had secured a P3 “their best team result in recent memory”.
A Weekend to forget for the McLarens
McLaren left Azerbaijan with a lingering sense of “what could have been.” Fast on the straights, brave in wheel-to-wheel combat, but ultimately undone by strategy, brakes and tire struggles, McLaren’s 2025 Baku campaign was a case study in how fine margins define success and failure in Formula 1.
Oscar Piastri’s Baku Grand Prix ended in sorrow, a brutal crash into the barriers. A false start and misjudgment of gap level landed him to P20. Malfunctioning of MCL38, put him straight into the castle at turn 5. As the championship battle intensifies, they’ll hope Piastri’s mistake becomes a lesson and not a recurring incident.
Norris with a low-drag package struggled to make to the top 5. Qualifying was a equally disaster for both due to package and set up differences. The decision paid dividends in qualifying, with their cars consistently among the fastest through the speed traps. However, that came at a cost: A DNF and P7 finish by the end of the race.
“Oscar was pushing right where he needed to. In Baku, you take risks — sometimes it pays off, sometimes the walls win.” – Andrea Stella(Team Principal) (post race)
Mercedes Surprise Surge
After months of chasing the frontrunners, the Silver Arrows finally returned to the podium, proving that persistence, strategy, and precision still run deep. George Russel pulled his W16 to P2 in the almighty turns of Baku while the McLarens pushed aggressively and paid the price in the long run.
The defining moment came when Mercedes timed their stop perfectly under the Virtual Safety Car. While Ferrari and McLaren hesitated, Mercedes seized the opportunity, saving precious seconds. Emerging in clean air, they were able to undercut one Williams of Carlos Sainz, leapfrogging into podium contention.
Kimi Antonelli successfully scored P4 position unable to overtake Carlos with a few laps of time. Mercedes team together proved that this race result was a statement that they are still present in the constructor’s title.
Baku Bravery: Racing Bulls Take the Fight to the Midfield
Redbull’s sister team secured a splendid result with Liam Lawson with a P5, his best career finish and Issack Hadjar in P10, earning 11 valuable points. Racing bulls opted for a medium downforce setup adjusting to the curves of Baku. This team is proving it can better than its sister team and with time, its proving true.
Ferrari Truma continues.
Both the Ferrari drivers failed to keep with the mid field. They were asked to swap but didn’t make a mark. Yuki survived Lewis Hamilton losing large amount of time. Charles on the other hand, had a splendid first stint but lost pace due to the McLarens.
Ferrari arrived in Azerbaijan with confidence, running a high-downforce setup aimed at maximising grip through the tight castle section. While they were quick in the technical sector, the lack of straight-line speed left them vulnerable. A weakness that would haunt them on race day. The opening laps showed Ferrari’s fragility. Though they managed to hold track position early on, McLaren and Williams repeatedly threatened on the 2km main straight.Ferrari facing another hard time raised questions among fans, F1 enthusiasts, etc.

Zandvoort, Netherlands — The 2025 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort was a race of two halves for McLaren, a weekend that perfectly encapsulated the brutal duality of Formula 1. On one side, the jubilant celebration of Oscar Piastri’s masterful victory. On the other hand, the crushing defeat of Lando Norris, whose championship hopes were dealt a devastating blow by a late-race mechanical failure
The Unshakable Australian: Piastri Withstands Pressure and Chaos for His 7th Win
McLaren’s dominance was clear. Piastri made a clean start from the front. At the same time, Norris, after a brief tussle with Max Verstappen, quickly reclaimed second place, putting the two papaya-liveried cars in a commanding 1-2 formation. Piastri led with composure, managing his pace and holding a comfortable, albeit slim, advantage over his teammate. Norris, meanwhile, drove with his characteristic blend of speed and aggression, keeping the pressure on Piastri and pulling away from the rest of the field.
With just seven laps remaining, the race’s defining moment arrived. A puff of smoke emerged from the back of Lando Norris’s car. He reported an issue over the radio before being forced to pull off the track, his McLaren coming to a smoky halt. The issue was later confirmed to be a rare mechanical failure—an oil leak—the team’s first race-ending reliability problem in over 60 races.
“It’s a shame to have ended the race like that today, but it was out of my control… I’m pleased with my performance” – Lando Norris(post race)
Verstappen Salvages a Hard-Fought Podium at His Home Race
Max Verstappen delivered a vintage performance of determined racecraft and strategic patience to secure a hard-fought second place at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix. With a brilliant start, Verstappen went side-by-side with Norris and, despite a near-spin, managed to make a daring overtake for second place. It was a move that got the crowd on its feet and proved he wasn’t going to give up on a podium fight. He wisely chose to manage his pace and tires rather than ruin his race by trying to keep up with the faster McLarens. This strategic decision ultimately paid off.
Isack Hadjar’s Historic Dutch GP Podium
Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar, in a truly sensational performance, held his nerve against far more experienced drivers to secure a maiden career podium, marking a historic moment for the young Frenchman and a much-needed morale boost for his team.
While many expected him to fade in the race under pressure from seasoned veterans like Charles Leclerc and George Russell, Hadjar showcased a composure that defied his rookie status. He held his nerve through multiple safety car restarts, fending off attacks and maintaining his position on pure pace. On the podium, Hadjar was embraced by his childhood hero, Max Verstappen, a moment that felt symbolic of a passing of the torch.
Ferrari’s Zandvoort Zero: A Double DNF Delivers a Crushing Blow
With both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc retiring in separate, high-profile incidents, the team left Zandvoort with zero points and a host of questions to answer ahead of their crucial home race at Monza.
First, Lewis Hamilton’s afternoon came to an abrupt and uncharacteristic end on Lap 23. While pushing to make an undercut stick on a rival, the seven-time World Champion ran slightly wide on the banked Turn 3. With a sudden snap of oversteer on a damp patch of the track, he lost control and hit the barrier.
“I’m really not sure [what happened]. I will have to look back at it. As I went up the bank, the rear snapped out and I couldn’t recover. The car was a bit twitchy… My pace was looking pretty decent. I was catching George [Russell] and I think I had the pace of a few cars ahead of me.” – Lewis Hamilton(post crash)
Charles Leclerc, who had shown promising race pace and had recovered some positions, found himself embroiled in a battle with Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli. On Lap 53, Antonelli, in an aggressive move, understeered into the side of Leclerc’s car at the same infamous Turn 3. The contact sent Leclerc spinning into the wall, ending his race on the spot.
Russell’s Resilience vs. Antonelli’s Rookie Mistakes
Russell qualified his Mercedes W16 in fifth, a solid if not spectacular result that put him in the thick of the midfield battle. Antonelli, meanwhile, continued his up-and-down rookie season, qualifying 11th after an unfortunate spin in an earlier practice session put him on the back foot. Russell’s fourth-place finish was a crucial strategic win in the constructors’ championship. Now, the team looks ahead to Monza, hoping to put the ups and downs of Zandvoort behind them and continue their fight for a healthier points haul.
Kimi’s forward momentum put him in a position to fight for a potential podium, but his race unraveled when he came into contact with Charles Leclerc at the infamous Turn 3. The aggressive move resulted in a 10-second penalty for causing a collision, which, combined with a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane, dropped him from a finishing position of sixth to a final classification of 16th.
Points, but No Satisfaction: Aston Martin’s Dutch GP
Lance Stroll delivered a stellar recovery drive from 19th on the grid to finish seventh, a frustrated Fernando Alonso ended his race in eighth, ruing a series of strategic missteps and unfortunate timing that prevented him from fighting for a higher position. The race itself was a story of two very different performances. Lance Stroll’s day was a masterclass in strategic savvy and determined driving. The strategic disadvantage, combined with a car that felt more difficult to handle in traffic than in clean air, led to a visibly angry Alonso. They leave Zandvoort with a valuable 10 points, but know they must find a way to consistently deliver on the promise shown in practice to truly challenge at the front.
“Shoutout to the team for rebuilding the car Friday night and then again Saturday… it was nice to bounce back today.” – Lance Stroll(post race)
Williams’ Albon Delivers
Williams Racing capitalized on the chaos, with Alex Albon delivering a sensational drive to secure a fifth-place finish at the Dutch Grand Prix. The Thai-British driver’s race was a masterclass in opportunistic driving and pure speed. His brilliant opening lap, which saw him vault five positions, was the foundation for his entire race. Albon expertly navigated the first corner traffic to put himself in the top ten, a move that he later credited as being the “perfect race” from his perspective.
However, the mood in the garage was not entirely celebratory. Carlos Sainz’s afternoon was a story of frustration and debate. After a strong start saw him in P9, Sainz came into contact with Liam Lawson of Racing Bulls during a Safety Car restart. The incident, for which Sainz was deemed “wholly or predominantly to blame,” resulted in a 10-second time penalty.
