Headaches for Red Bull as McLaren storm ahead in the Championship

McLaren now has a 41-point lead in the F1 Constructors' Championship after outscoring Red Bull by 21 points in the Singapore Grand Prix. Six Grands Prix and three sprint races remain in the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship. Red Bull are confident upgrades will perform in Austin but they have their work cutout if they are to win the title again.

Max Verstappen limited the damage in the Drivers' Championship by finishing in second-place. Norris was extremely dominant in Singapore, but at the end of the race, he only took seven points out of Verstappen's lead. But McLaren got two drivers on the podium compared to Red Bulls one.

Sergio Perez didn't really recover from his woes in qualifying. He failed to escape Q2 and started from P13 on the grid. The Mexican worked his way back up slightly but could only finish 10th. He took home one point and was lapped by Norris.

Meanwhile, Ferrari also dropped back. A late surge seemed possible after a win in Monza and a P2 in Azerbaijan, but they dropped backwards in Singapore. The Formula 1 circus now takes a break. F1 teams will be back on track for the United States Grand Prix towards the end of October.
