Red Bull have dominated the grid in the 2023 resulting in their Constructors Championship lead being large enough for them to claim their first championship in just the third race after the summer break at the Singapore Grand Prix.
A range of scenarios in Singapore leave it possible for Christian Horner and the Red Bull team to win the Constructors title for the second time in two years. The team have been untouchable this season winning every race possible.
The first scenario sees Red Bull finish first and second on the podium at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. In addition to this, their Mercedes rivals would have to score no points at all.

Scenario two is more complex. If either Hamilton or Russell were to finish in 10th and claim the final point’s position, then Verstappen or Perez would need to take the fastest lap. This would be in addition to RedBull finishing the race with a one two, something which isn’t unusual of the team having collected six of them this season.
When is the earliest Max Verstappen can win the World Championship title?
Unlike Red Bull as a team, it is mathematically impossible for the Dutch man to win the World Championship in Singapore.
The two time World Champion, Max Verstappen, has spent the season defending his Championship title by winning 12 out of the 14 races so far this season. With a total of 12 race wins under his belt, he has already made history surpassing Sebastian Vettel to claim the record for the most consecutive race wins.
The earliest Verstappen can claim the title is in Japan depending on the results this week in Singapore. A lead of at least 180 points is needed by Verstappen for him to claim his third championship in a row at the Suzuka International Racing Course.
