Three races on the 22-race 2023 Formula 1 schedule were won by drivers not named Max Verstappen, and only one of those three races was not won by his Red Bull teammate, Sergio Perez.

That race was the Singapore Grand Prix at Marina Bay Street Circuit, which was won by Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr. from the pole position.

The Singapore Grand Prix, which is commonly shortened from its 61-lap distance around the 19-turn, 3.07-mile (4.941-kilometer) temporary street circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore due to the two-hour time limit, was left off the calendar in 2020 and 2021 due to government restrictions. Since its return, it has never been won by a driver who did not start on the front row.

Perez won from second place in 2022, and Sainz won from pole last year. The track has hosted 14 races, and it has been won from pole nine times. The only time it was won from beyond row three was in its inaugural running back in 2008, when Fernando Alonso won the infamous Crashgate race from 15th.

Marina Bay is the only track currently on the Formula 1 schedule where Verstappen has never won, and he is currently riding a seven-race losing streak, his longest since the 2020 season when he was a nine-time Grand Prix winner. Now he is a three-time reigning world champion and a 61-time Grand Prix winner, good for third place on the all-time list.

He leads McLaren's Lando Norris by 59 points, a gap that has dropped in three consecutive race weekends, in the driver standings with seven races remaining on the record-breaking 24-race 2024 schedule.
