Max Verstappen jokes about coded messages as Red Bull plans first races for Gianpiero Lambiase’s successor

There were still two races on the current Formula 1 calendar missing from Max Verstappen's list of victories: the Madring and the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Given that F1 only visited the street circuit in Madrid for the first time this year, that is understandable, but Singapore has proved to be Red Bull's Achilles' heel for years. Until this season. In 2026, Verstappen was dominant in Singapore, claiming two pole positions and two victories over the sprint weekend.
