Verstappen aims to extend resurgence in Singapore
Cape Times
|October 02, 2025
MAX Verstappen’s recent resurgence will be put to the test at the Singapore Grand Prix this week as the Red Bull driver tries to turn the Formula One world championship into a three-horse race.
-
Back-to-back wins in Monza and Baku have left third-placed Verstappen 69 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri, with seven Grands Prix and three sprints remaining.
Lando Norris sits between the two, 25 points — or one race win - behind his McLaren teammate Piastri and 44 ahead of Verstappen.
Dutchman Verstappen is not getting carried away by the growing talk of a fifth consecutive world title, especially because Red Bull have a poor recent record under the lights in Singapore.
