2022 F1 Singapore GP Preview and Predictions
By Charanjot Singh Modified 27 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Ferrari won the last edition of the F1 Singapore GP The F1 circus heads to the Singapore GP this weekend as the season prepares to wind down. The sport heads to the beautiful country after a gap of two years as the pandemic scuppered any plans to race in that part of the world. The last time there was an F1 Singapore GP was in 2019. Back then, Lewis Hamilton was the reigning champion and Mercedes could do no wrong. In what seems like a lifetime now, Hamilton has been usurped by Max Verstappen at the top of the leaderboard. The Red Bull driver seems destined to pick up his second world championship title and is performing at a level above everyone else. The last time there was an F1 race in Singapore, a certain four-time World Champion won while driving a Ferrari. Like in 2019, the ship has sailed for any title aspirations for Ferrari this season. Having said that, can Ferrari add to its tally of four wins this season? What can we expect from the sport's return to the Marina Bay Circuit? Let's answer this and more in our preview and predictions for the 2022 F1 Singapore GP.2022 F1 Singapore GP Preview
Key storylines
#1 Max Verstappen is on the verge of something big
Max Verstappen picked up his fifth consecutive win at Monza. The Red Bull driver now has 11 wins this season. In the all-time list, Verstappen finds himself level with fellow grid rival Lewis Hamilton, who also has a career-best of 11 wins in a season. To add to this, Hamilton also has a career-best consecutive five race-winning streak. If Max Verstappen wins the F1 Singapore GP this weekend, he betters two of Lewis Hamilton's career-best statistics. Being cognizant of the kind of level at which Hamilton performed during the turbo-hybrid era, this just shows what Verstappen is doing in F1 right now.#2 How the F1 ecosystem changes in 3 years
The F1 world does not stand still. It keeps on changing and if you look back just a few years you see how everything changes. Three years ago, the world of F1 was quite different from what it is right now. Sebastian Vettel, who won the race in Singapore at the time, is retiring this season. Lewis Hamilton, who was cruising to the title in his Mercedes, has not won a race this season. Daniel Ricciardo, who was a daredevil force of nature in 2019, is finding it hard to secure a seat for next season. F1 is a ruthless mistress and it churns out names faster than many would think.#3 The much-speculated driver market

Form Guide
In Form
Could there be anyone else but Max Verstappen who defines this category? The Red Bull driver is in red hot form. He has five wins in five races and these wins have come on varied tracks. Hungary and Zandvoort were more of a slow-medium speed specials, while Monza and Spa were the ultimate dreams for low downforce efficiency. Sportskeeda F1@SportskeedaF1Max Verstappen this season has been simply outstanding and is on verge of breaking multiple records:11 wins (Record- 13)
335 points (Record- 413)
13 podiums (Record- 18)

Out of form
Charles Leclerc needs a win at the F1 Singapore GP. Not because he has not been driving well, but because he has become the forgotten man of F1 in the last few races. He should have won in Hungary but was compromised by strategy. He could have won at Paul Ricard but he binned it into the wall. The last three races have not been great for Ferrari and, while Leclerc is doing his best, he can't outperform a slower car. Charles Leclerc@Charles_LeclercP2.Tifosi, you make this place special.

Who wins the race
If everything performs the way it is supposed to, it's hard to look beyond Max Verstappen. The Red Bull might not be the fastest car over one lap at this track, but what works for Verstappen is the tire life. To add to this, Singapore is not Monaco and one can overtake on this track.
