F1 Grid IQ's F1 Fantasy projections for the Singapore Grand Prix, updated as real session data comes in.
Latest update: October 9, 2026 at 9:21 PM UTC
⏱ These are early projections, published before qualifying — they do not yet reflect real qualifying results.
Simulations typically update within 30–60 minutes of FP2/FP3 (or FP1/Sprint Qualifying on sprint weekends).
These are F1 Grid IQ's F1 Fantasy predictions for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix — expected fantasy points, driver and constructor rankings, and our optimizer's take on this weekend's squad. See how these projections are built on the main F1 Fantasy predictions page, and the full grid ranked on driver & constructor rankings.
Through the Bahrain Grand Prix, F1 Grid IQ leads the verified cumulative F1 Fantasy accuracy standings with 646.65 points — 35.69 ahead of 2nd place (BoxBox, 610.96). Race Strategist actually had the single highest grade for the Bahrain Grand Prix itself — this reflects cumulative performance across every graded race, not a claim that F1 Grid IQ wins every race.

What F1 Grid IQ's optimizer weighs when building a squad for this race — not a personalized recommendation.
For the Singapore Grand Prix, F1 Grid IQ's optimizer weighs every driver and constructor's projected points against price, your remaining budget and transfer cost — not just who's fastest. Max Verstappen and George Russell are the kind of pick the optimizer tends to favor this week, but the actual recommended squad depends on your own team and budget.
