Max Verstappen earns top marks while Kimi Antonelli impresses with composure in the driver report card from the Singapore Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen left Marina Bay with the kind of grade drivers chase all season: a perfect score. In the post-race driver ratings, the Red Bull star was judged to have put in a flawless showing on one of the most unforgiving circuits on the calendar.
Singapore is a brutal test. The walls are close, the heat is draining, and there is almost no room to recover from a mistake. A performance with no visible errors there carries extra weight, and Verstappen's reputation for relentless precision was on full display.
The other headline was Kimi Antonelli. The young Mercedes driver was praised for being hugely mature, showing the calm and decision-making of someone far more experienced. At a track that punishes impatience, that composure stood out, and it adds to the growing sense that he is settling into Formula 1 faster than expected.
The ratings are a reminder that a Grand Prix is judged on more than the finishing order. Execution under pressure, race craft and cool heads all count, and in Singapore two very different drivers delivered them.
