Sources also describe Antonelli’s reaction to the news, noting that he appears surprised to learn the podium puts him on the brink of clinching the title. Verstappen is reported to have dominated Singapore, with Charles Leclerc finishing ahead of Antonelli in the Ferrari driver’s stronger showing, while the championship implications for Mercedes’ Antonelli sharpen after the podium.
