RED BULL
WINS: 4, POLES: 2, PODIUMS: 14 | 2022 RESULT: PEREZ 1st, VERSTAPPEN 7th
Sergio Perez recorded the team’s first Singapore Grand Prix victory since 2013 in the rain-hit 2022 race. Red Bull have scored more points in Singapore than any other team and have scored on every visit to the track. They’ve also had more podium finishes here than anyone else, with 14 in total.
At least one of their cars has featured on the podium at every Singapore Grand Prix since 2010, including three consecutive wins in 2011, 2012 and 2013. One of their drivers finished as runner-up here for five consecutive seasons between 2014 and 2018. Max Verstappen finished third in 2019, while Alex Albon finished sixth.
2019 was the first season since 2014 that neither Red Bull driver has qualified on the front row at the Singapore Grand Prix. The team haven’t taken pole at the Marina Bay Circuit since 2013. 2011 is the only season where Red Bull have locked-out the front row at the track.

FERRARI
WINS: 3, POLES: 6, PODIUMS: 10 | 2022 RESULT: LECLERC 2nd, SAINZ 3rd
Ferrari became the first team to record a 1-2 finish at the Singapore Grand Prix with a 1-2 finish in 2019. Ferrari have won at the Marina Bay Circuit a further two times, with Fernando Alonso in 2010 and Sebastian Vettel in 2015.
The team failed to score on their first two visits to the track, but since then 2017 has been the only other year in which they’ve failed to take home points from Singapore. Both Ferraris were eliminated on the first lap that year.
In every year since 2010 every Ferrari car which has reached the end of the race has scored points. The team have taken podiums in seven races at the track, including double podium finishes in 2015, 2019 and 2022.
Ferrari were the first team to take pole position at the Marina Bay Circuit, and have enjoyed starting from the front a further five times since then – including in each of the last two races at the track. 2009 is the only year where neither Ferrari driver reached the final part of qualifying at this circuit. In addition to Kimi Raikkonen’s Q2 exit and Giancarlo Fisichella’s Q1 exit that year, the team suffered a futher Q2 elimination with Felipe Massa in 2012, while he and Vettel were both out in Q1 in 2012 and 2016 respectively with gearbox problems.
MERCEDES

In 2019, neither Mercedes driver finished on the podium but both finished in the top five. The Brackley-based team suffered their worst Singapore Grand Prix result since 2008 in 2022, with Lewis Hamilton finishing ninth and George Russell last of the cars still running at the end of the race.
Mercedes have scored on every visit to Marina Bay Circuit, and finished on the podium with both cars in 2016 and 2017. The team have recorded four DNFs in total here, two as a result of Michael Schumacher crashing out of proceedings in 2011 and 2012, and two as a result of electrical failures for Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in 2014 and 2015 respectively. A Mercedes driver has never finished as runner-up in the Singapore Grand Prix.
Mercedes have taken pole at three Singapore Grands Prix – in 2014, 2016 and 2018. The team held a 100% appearance rate in the final part of qualifying here until 2022, when George Russell missed out on Q3 by qualifying 11th.
2014 is the only season where Mercedes have locked-out the front row in Singapore, but Rosberg’s car issues saw him starting from the pit-lane that year. Aside from their poles and front row lock-outs, Nico Rosberg started from the front row in 2013 and Lewis Hamilton started from the front row in 2019.
ALPINE
WINS: 0, POLES: 0, PODIUMS: 2* | 2022 RESULT: OCON DNF, ALONSO DNF
The Enstone team won the inaugural World Championship Singapore Grand Prix in 2008 under their Renault guise. Their win came in controversial circumstances in 2008, as Nelson Piquet Jnr was instructed to crash in order to give victory to team-mate Fernando Alonso.
Alonso also finished on the podium in the following season for the team, while Kimi Raikkonen recorded the team’s third and most recent podium finish at the circuit in 2013, under their Lotus guise. The team’s best result since their last podium finish was recorded by Jolyon Palmer, who finished sixth in the 2017 race.
Renault scored points in Singapore in all of the last four races at the Marina Bay Street Circuit prior to 2022, but the team recorded their first double retirement at the venue on their first appearance as Alpine last year.
