Following his pole position and victory in Sepang, the Red Bull Racing driver continued to show strong pace. However, his result remains subject to review after he was summoned to the stewards over a possible yellow-flag infringement.Verstappen said the car felt significantly better on soft tyres, allowing him to push harder around Singapore’s demanding street circuit. He also noted that Red Bull Racing had made progress in recent races, although some weaknesses remained evident on the Marina Bay track.The Dutchman highlighted the extreme heat and humidity as major challenges for the drivers, explaining that the temperature inside the cockpit makes the Singapore weekend particularly demanding. Despite the discomfort, he said the team works hard to prepare for the conditions.Meanwhile, Isack Hadjar qualified ninth after encountering unexpected handling issues during the final session, which prevented him from achieving a stronger result.
