Carlos Sainz gains eight places on track and scores a point in the Singapore GP

Sunday, 5 October 2025:
- Race: P10, 61 laps

  • Carlos Sainz knew how to wait, handle his tyres and overtake almost half of the grid starting from eighteenth place in one of the toughest tracks of the entire calendar to pass on track.
  • The Williams race driver started on the Medium tyre and extended its life for 50 laps to give himself the chance to attack in the closing stages on the Soft compound.
  • The Spanish was fifteenth after his stop, but he quickly passed five cars and, with three laps to go, he managed to move up to tenth to score a hard-fought point in Singapore.

QUOTES:
“Given the circumstances, we need to be happy and proud about our performance today. It was a straightforward race with no safety cars, but we still managed to progress through the field and grab a valuable point starting from P18. We were able to extend our Medium tyre longer than anybody else into the race and once I put the Softs on, I was able to do a very fast stint and some strong overtakes on track. We could’ve been fighting higher up the field today but all in all I’m very happy with our race execution. We’ll take the learnings and start preparing for the upcoming races".
