Six Singapore Races. Six Different Winners. Who Comes Next?
Marina Bay’s last six Grands Prix produced six different winners, with four teams sharing the latest four victories. Will 2026 add another name?
Singapore hasn’t repeated a winner across its last six editions.
Lewis Hamilton started the sequence in 2018. George Russell extended it in 2025. Between them came Sebastian Vettel, Sergio Pérez, Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris.
That’s more than a changing list of names. The victories came through different combinations of qualifying pace, strategy and race management.
Historical results through the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix. These are six consecutive editions, not six consecutive years. The upcoming 2026 Sprint and Grand Prix are excluded.
Six visits, six names
2018: Lewis Hamilton — Mercedes
2019: Sebastian Vettel — Ferrari
2022: Sergio Pérez — Red Bull
2023: Carlos Sainz — Ferrari
2024: Lando Norris — McLaren
2025: George Russell — Mercedes
Singapore held no Grands Prix in 2020 or 2021.
Mercedes and Ferrari each won twice across this stretch. Red Bull and McLaren took one apiece. Narrow the comparison to the last four editions and each of those four teams has exactly one victory.
Different routes to the same result
Hamilton’s 2018 win followed an exceptional qualifying lap that put his Mercedes on pole. A year later, Vettel gained the decisive advantage in the pit stops, stopping before Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc and emerging ahead once both had changed tires.
Pérez won the rain-affected 2022 return. Sainz’s victory the following year required a different kind of control.
With the Mercedes drivers closing late in the race, Sainz kept Norris close enough to use DRS. That helped the McLaren defend second and protected the Ferrari ahead. Sainz won, with Norris runner-up.
In 2024, Norris didn’t need such a close finish. He beat Max Verstappen by 20.945 seconds. Russell then won from pole in 2025, bringing Mercedes back to the top step for the first time since Hamilton’s 2018 victory.
The same venue produced six winners, but no single explanation covers all six races.
What would extend the sequence?
A Verstappen or Kimi Antonelli victory in 2026 would make it seven different winners in seven editions. Neither appears among the previous six.
A win for anyone already on that list would end the sequence.
The history doesn’t establish an open lottery or guarantee another new winner. It shows how often the winning driver and team have changed across these visits.
That gives the 2026 Grand Prix a clear statistical question: does Singapore welcome another name, or does a previous winner finally repeat?
