新加坡大奖赛赢家与输家
Formula 1在新加坡的周末虽然缺乏精彩动作，但仍提供了许多讨论的焦点，从让各自车队失望的车手到一位不断崛起的冠军候选人

残酷的三站赛事最后一站的结果很难预测。随着车手们在赛道上的疲劳累积，常常会有政治阴谋、争吵和人为错误的潜在可能性。
赛道之外，在新加坡周末，事情相对平静，但几位车手可能会希望他们做出了不同的决定。
你可能已经合理地期待本周的头条会是马克斯·维斯塔潘的名字，但在这个可能成为红牛历史上一个重要周末的时候，将鲜花传递给这位荷兰人的信任赛车工程师是公平的。
正如现在众所周知的那样，维斯塔潘将把红牛车队大幅改进的赛车发挥到极致，在车队历史上的噩梦赛道上赢得了一场有控制的胜利，红牛选择让泪流满面的兰比斯站在领奖台上领取车队冠军奖杯，这一举动意义重大，因为这可能是这位英国人在维斯塔潘的赛车工程师生涯中的最后一次胜利。
兰比斯将在最终转会麦克拉伦之前逐渐淡出红牛，汤姆·哈特将成为他的接替者。哈特将在本赛季晚些时候接管麦克风，因此尽管红牛的表现有所回升，但并不能保证强大的维斯塔潘-兰比斯组合会继续增加他们的73场大奖赛胜利数。
如果这是F1历史上最成功的搭档之一结束的方式，那么维斯塔潘和兰比斯以在新加坡大奖赛周末横扫一切的方式谢幕，无线电系统的小故障为这个充满情感的夜晚增添了一丝喜剧色彩。
刘易斯·汉密尔顿、法拉利、兰多·诺里斯、麦克拉伦
坐在法拉利贵宾室的拥挤休息室里，车队老板弗雷德·瓦瑟尔在回答了关于车队新加坡策略的最新一轮问题后显然感到有些尴尬。
似乎没有比法拉利更容易因为其比赛策略而受到指责的团队了，而这种声誉当然部分源于先例。但在社交媒体的喧嚣之外，法拉利在新加坡所尝试的策略中也有一些逻辑。它将软胎起步的查尔斯·勒克莱尔和中等速度的跑者兰多·诺里斯的策略分开，试图对维斯塔潘施加压力，尽管这最终证明是徒劳的，但法拉利仍然处于巩固双料领奖台位置的好位置。
主要问题是新加坡的中胎特别糟糕，这一点通过将两位车手都换上软胎，麦克拉伦已经认识到了，也许法拉利也能消除这一点。但因此让汉密尔顿提前换上磨损的中胎是不可避免的后果。
今天的主要错误是汉密尔顿自己犯的，他在虚拟安全车下被要求进行双停站时拒绝进站。如果他那样做了，车队可能会锁定第二和第三名，而汉密尔顿则承担了在软胎上长时间行驶导致第六名完赛的责任。
‘你昨天问麦克拉伦这么多问题吗？’瓦瑟尔生气了。
兰多·诺里斯，麦克拉伦，奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里，麦克拉伦
实际上...是的，弗雷德。我们做到了！
这个专栏主要侧重于周日的结果，我们不想给短道赛赋予比其应有的重要性更多的重视。但周六在20圈短道赛最后一圈中，通过兰多·诺里斯对队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里的半心半意的一次冲刺，是令人非常不欢迎的木瓜规则剧情的回归，尤其是在考虑到所涉及的风险如此之小的情况下。
周日，诺里斯似乎表现出更多的悔恨和自我反省，评论他第一次、失败的超越汉密尔顿的尝试，称这是他在周末所犯的几个糟糕决定之一。
车队负责人斯特拉评论说，她在周日看到的诺里斯——主动提出帮助汉密尔顿回到皮亚斯特里身边——与她希望看到的未来形象非常接近。尽管如此，意大利人也确认，在前往美国大奖赛周末之前，还将有更多对话来清除新加坡车队集体系统中的问题。
“我无法尝试我之前做的事情，”诺里斯在比赛后对媒体说，“即使这个动作是可行的，我也从一开始就不应该尝试。我必须更多地考虑我所代表的团队，而不是我自己。这是我的错误，我让团队失望了。”
当被问及他是否对维斯塔潘在积分榜上并没有比他更接近感到高兴时，安东内利回答说：“是的，我知道，那会非常可怕。那会非常、非常可怕。”
即使当他处于赢得锦标赛的边缘时，理论上他可以在奥斯汀的下一场比赛中实现这一点，基米·安东内利也拒绝过度兴奋。
我们在赛季初看到的，是基米·安东内利成长的第一阶段。凭借场上最好的赛车，从发车到终点旗，他展现了纯粹的主导地位。当没有赛车可以击败他时，他被迫进入了一个需要更多成熟度的限制损害的角色，这是第二阶段。”
20岁的年轻人巴库出色的恢复驾驶已经充分说明了他的进步，在马来西亚和新加坡也有同样的表现，即使没有那么耀眼。
这位意大利年轻人令人耳目一新的地方在于，他并没有坚持通常人们在他这个位置上会说的那些虚假的言论。'一场比赛一场比赛来，现在还不考虑冠军，任何事情都可能发生。'
安东内利承认他的首个冠军已经近在咫尺，他利用这一点作为保持敏锐和全速前进的动力，而不是欺骗自己，假装它不存在。'当然，我知道它非常接近，我知道它在那里，'他说。
'但我只是需要确保我继续做到最好。这个周末我并没有特别好的驾驶。我觉得我可以做得更好。但我相信我有时间重新调整。如果我没有做好我的工作，那么结果就不会来。所以为了实现我的目标，我需要表现。就是这样简单。'
我们都知道这里的正确答案是阿斯顿·马丁，而且常读我们文章的读者也知道我们不喜欢在别人处于低谷时还继续打击他们。然而，这条赛道本应该适合AMR26和本田引擎的组合，但当后者不能正常工作时，这也就不算什么了。
整个周末都受到了动力单元相关问题的困扰，这意味着费尔南多·阿隆索和兰斯·斯特罗尔都无法真正竞争，这导致两位车手都从维修区起步，而且无法恢复。
这真的是对马来西亚那更加有希望的周末的一个糟糕的后续，马来西亚的周末为阿隆索和其他车手带来了积分，而其他赛道可能不会提供同样的机会。

Winners and losers from F1's Singapore Grand Prix
Formula 1's largely action-starved weekend in Singapore still managed to provide plenty of talking points, from drivers who let their respective teams down to one champion-elect who keeps rising to the occasion
Charles Leclerc, Ferrari, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing
The last leg of a brutal triple-header can really go either way. As fatigue accumulates around the paddock, there is often the potential for political intrigue, bickering and human error.
Off the track, things were relatively well behaved over the Singapore weekend, but a few drivers will be wishing they had made different decisions.
You may have rightly expected the name of Max Verstappen to headline this week's edition, but on what may turn out to be a historic weekend for Red Bull, it's fair to pass the flowers onto the Dutchman's trusted race engineer.
As Verstappen put Red Bull's vastly improved car to good use to snare a controlled victory on the team's historical bogey track, Red Bull's choice to push a tearful Lambiase onto the podium to receive the constructors' trophy is significant because it may well be the Briton's very last win as Verstappen's race engineer.
As is well known by now, Lambiase will be phased out at Red Bull ahead of his eventual McLaren move, with Tom Hart his replacement. Hart will already take over the microphone for a number of races later this season, so despite Red Bull's upturn in form there is no guarantee that the formidable Verstappen-Lambiase combo will add to its tally of 73 grand prix wins.
If this is it for one of the most successful pairings in F1 history, then Verstappen and Lambiase went out in style by sweeping the Singapore sprint weekend, with the radio system hiccup adding a comedic note to an emotional evening.
Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari, Lando Norris, McLaren
Sat in a packed lounge in Ferrari's hospitality, team boss Fred Vasseur clearly felt a bit cornered after the latest barrage of questions on the team's Singapore strategy.
There appears to be no easier team to blame for its race strategy than Ferrari, and some of that reputation is of course steeped in precedent. But far from the madding crowd on social media, there was some logic to what Ferrari was trying to do in Singapore. It split the strategies of soft-starter Charles Leclerc and medium-runner to put some pressure on Verstappen, and when that proved in vain, it was still in a good position to consolidate a double podium.
The main problem was that the medium tyre was particularly rubbish in Singapore, something McLaren recognised by putting both of its drivers on softs, and perhaps something Ferrari could have snuffed out too. But getting Hamilton off the worn medium tyre early was therefore an inevitable consequence.
The main mistake today was made by Hamilton himself, who was called in for a double-stack pitstop under a virtual safety car by refusing to come in. If he had done so, the team would have likely secured second and third, with Hamilton instead taking responsibility for limping home in sixth on an excessively long stint on soft tyres.
"Did you ask this many questions to McLaren, yesterday?" Vasseur bristled.
Lando Norris, McLaren, Oscar Piastri, McLaren
Actually... yes, Fred. We did!
This column is predominantly weighted towards the result on Sundays, and we don't want to give sprint races any more importance than they really need to get. But Saturday's coming together on the final lap of the 20-lap sprint, through a half-hearted lunge by Lando Norris on team-mate Oscar Piastri, was a very unwelcome return of the papaya rules saga and felt particularly unnecessary given what little was at stake.
On Sunday, Norris appeared to show more contrition and self-reflection, commenting on his first, botched overtake attempt on Hamilton that it was one of several poor decisions he had taken over the weekend.
Team principal Stella commented that the Norris he saw on Sunday - offering his services to help back Hamilton into Piastri - was a hell of a lot closer to the one he wanted to see going forward. Having said that, the Italian also confirmed there will be more conversations heading into the United States Grand Prix weekend to flush Singapore out of the team's collective system.
"I can't attempt what I did," Norris told the press after the race. "I should never have attempted it in the first place, even if the move was on. I've got to think more of the team I represent than myself. It was a mistake on my part, and I let down the team."
Asked if he was happy Verstappen isn't much closer to him in the standings than he is right now, Antonelli replied: "Yeah, I know, because it would be very scary. It would be very, very scary."
Even when he's on the verge of winning the championship, which he could theoretically pull off the next race in Austin, Kimi Antonelli refuses to get overly excited.
What we saw earlier in the season was the first phase of Kimi Antonelli's coming of age. Pure domination from pole to flag with the best car in the field. The next phase arrived when he longer had the car to beat, and was forced into a damage-limiting role which required more maturity.
The 20-year-old's outstanding recovery drive in Baku already spoke volumes about how far he has come, and there was more of the same in Malaysia and Singapore, even if it was less flashy.
What's also refreshing about the Italian youngster is that he's not persisting with the usual bogus lines people tend to trot out in his position. "One race at a time, not thinking about the title yet, anything can happen."
Antonelli acknowledged his maiden title is around the corner now, and uses it as motivation to stay sharp and keep firing on all cylinders rather than fooling himself, pretending it doesn't exist. "For sure. I know it's very close, I know it's there," he said.
"But I just need to make sure that I keep doing the best I can. This weekend I haven't particularly driven that well. I felt like I could have done a better job. But I feel confident that I have a week to reset. If I don't do my job well, then the result won't come. So in order to achieve what I want, I need to perform. It's as simple as that."
We all know the correct answer here is Aston Martin, and regular readers will also know we don't like to keep kicking the same hard-working people when they're down. However, this is a circuit that should have suited the combination of the AMR26 and the Honda engine, but that doesn't count for much when the latter doesn't work as it should.
The entire weekend was hampered by power unit-related issues which meant neither Fernando Alonso nor Lance Stroll could really compete, triggering pitlane start for both drivers from which there was no recovery.
It really was a poor follow-up to what was a much more promising weekend in Malaysia which yielded points for Alonso, and other circuits may not be offering the same opportunities.
