10 things we learned at the 2023 F1 Singapore Grand Prix

Carlos Sainz scored the first victory of 2023 for a team other than Red Bull in Singapore, as the Ferrari driver showed his Monza form was no flash in the pan. On a weekend that the year's dominant Formula 1 team appeared oddly subdued, with both cars missing the Q3 cut, and another piece of the 2024 driver market jigsaw lotted into place, here's what we learned

Red Bull was finally toppled in the 2023 Formula 1 season, as Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz brilliantly won this year’s Singapore Grand Prix.

He did so with a clever and calm approach, which also boosted McLaren’s Lando Norris and thwarted Mercedes’ bid to scoop the victory with a late roll of the dice on strategy around the race’s virtual safety car period.

Elsewhere, the FIA’s clampdown was a big talking point for Red Bull and others, Charles Leclerc revealed why he hasn’t been able to match Sainz’s results of late for Ferrari and there was rather a lot of despair encountered by the Aston Martin squad across the weekend, and for George Russell right at the race’s end.

All that and more is presented in the pick of what we learned from F1's latest visit to Singapore.

1. Red Bull is mortal in 2023 after all
