Max Verstappen is set to challenge for another victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, extending his remarkable win streak in Formula 1. This Sunday, Verstappen starts from second on the grid, with pole-sitter George Russell ahead, as Mercedes seeks to capitalize on their strong qualifying performance.

The race is shaping up to be a tactical battle, with Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris of McLaren starting third and fifth. Their cars showed promise, but Verstappen was left frustrated, attributing his second-place start to distractions in his final lap due to Norris on the track.

This Grand Prix holds additional significance as it is the first officially declared 'heat hazard' event, putting drivers' stamina to the test in Singapore's infamous conditions. Despite these challenges, Verstappen opts against wearing a cooling vest, placing confidence in his preparation and skill.
