2025 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix Preview & Race Prediction
Updated July 9, 2026
Formula 1 will head to Singapore for the Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay Street Circuit. This is the first time that Singapore will be a sprint weekend. McLaren's Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris were beaten by Red Bull's Max Verstappen in Azerbaijan in the last race. Those three are the favorites to come out on top in this race as well. Before the action begins in Singapore, continue reading to get my Singapore Grand Prix prediction.
Heading into the Singapore Grand Prix, McLaren leads the Constructors’ standings thanks to strong performances from Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. Those McLaren stars are in the top two in the driver standings as well and it would be hard to see one of them failing to win the individual championship. But Max Verstappen turned heads with a “Grand Slam” performance in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. He won the pole, fastest lap, and led all laps of the race.
That result temporarily silenced questions about Red Bull’s season and reestablished Verstappen as a threat to the McLaren stars. Piastri’s shocking first-lap crash in Baku puts pressure on McLaren in what has been a smooth season for them up until Azerbaijan.
Singapore will host its first-ever sprint race format this year. The Saturday sprint will impact grid position and that could have a huge impact in a circuit notorious for safety cars, limited overtaking, and tight walls to navigate. I expect the sprint to shake up the top 5, possibly elevating drivers who excel in short-run speed or utilize aggressive setups.
For podium finish markets, Norris, Verstappen, and Piastri are heavily favored. Winning constructor odds lean toward McLaren ahead of Red Bull and Ferrari.
Here is how I see this year's Singapore GP unfolding:
I predict Max Verstappen will take the win. Lando Norris will push hard and finish P2, with Oscar Piastri in P3. It may be too late for Verstappen to mount a serious title challenge, but he will win for the second race in a row here.
