»Guardian«: »Max Verstappen won the Singapore Grand Prix with a confident performance from pole position to the checkered flag, celebrating his first victory on the Marina Bay circuit in his 250th race... Antonelli now leads by 102 points over (George) Russell, which means that he can mathematically secure the title at the next race in Austin, provided he wins there and Russell finishes worse than eighth place cuts off.”
»Sun«: »Max Verstappen has undoubtedly found his way back to his old form as he secured two Grand Prix victories in a row. Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian nervously watched from the Ferrari pits as Lewis Hamilton lost a podium place after starting third and eventually finishing sixth.
»Independent«: »A second Grand Prix victory in a row for Max Verstappen – he wins the Singapore Grand Prix for the first time in his career! Charles Leclerc comes second, Kimi Antonelli finishes third. He can now mathematically secure the title at the next race in Austin!”
»Daily Mail«: »Max Verstappen does exactly what Max Verstappen tends to do and wins the Singapore Grand Prix from pole position - the 73rd victory of his astonishing career under the city-state's floodlights. Before the start of the season, no one believed he had even the slightest chance of winning the title, but he managed this remarkable victory - a comeback by Red Bull, which actually leaves him no chance of winning the world championship.
Singapore
"The Straits Times": "On his tenth attempt, Max Verstappen can finally claim victory at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix... as Verstappen crossed the finish line after 62 laps, fireworks lit up the sky over the 4.927km Marina Bay Street Circuit, bringing a much-needed splash of color to a skyline that has been shrouded in smog for the past week."
Spain
»Marca«: »Max Verstappen has closed the circle. It was a strange blemish that his historic track record did not include a single victory on the streets of Singapore, but that gap has now been closed... the title may be out of reach for the four-time world champion, but combined with Red Bull's improved performance, he is the clear bright spot in a season finale in which he wants to win everything in his power.
»Mundo Deportivo«: »This is the other side of Singapore. When it rains it can be chaotic, like a sprint race, or it can become a real procession. The latter was the case this Sunday when there was a lack of tension in the fight for victory. This went to Max Verstappen, who played in a different league and gave the Ferraris no chance... Antonelli could become world champion at the next race in Austin, five races before the end of the season. Unbelievable.”
Italy
»Gazzetta dello Sport«: »Kimi (Antonelli) can try the undertaking - even if it is still difficult - in America in two weeks: He would have to make up 23 points on Russell and thus win the race, while the Briton remains outside the points. Otherwise the “match point” will be moved to Mexico, where the probability of celebrating the world championship title is greater.”
»Corriere dello Sport«: »Max Verstappen triumphs in Singapore! The Dutchman dominates the race weekend and finally wins in Marina Bay. On the podium are (Charles) Leclerc, who fought from the start, and an outstanding Kimi Antonelli, who has his first match point in the fight for the World Championship in Austin!”

France
»L'Équipe«: »That would be done! After nine unsuccessful attempts, including three second places, Max Verstappen has finally won Singapore - one of the few racetracks that was still missing from his track record. The Dutchman didn’t even have to put in a lot of effort to finally achieve this.”
»Ouest-France«: »An absolutely crazy weekend in Singapore. Max Verstappen is in top form. After his win last week, he dominated this weekend across the board and took victory at the Singapore circuit on Sunday for the first time in his career.
