Technical updates: 2026 Singapore Grand Prix

Mercedes, McLaren and Red Bull are the only three teams to bring any new components to this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix.

Seeing as Singapore is the final race of a tripleheader of consecutive weekends, returns from new parts would always be slightly limited compared to if teams were able to bring components a week or two earlier. However, the addition of a Sprint weekend for the first time in Singapore further complicates matters, with only one practice session to validate any updates.

As a result, it’s a small list submitted to the FIA, with Mercedes developing a new front wing and front wing endplate design, which the team says delivers “improved performance across the operating envelope, including improved front tire wake control.”

Mercedes also brought a major package to the previous race in Malaysia and is splitting the specifications across its two cars in order to try and understand more about it after struggling to extract performance out of the latest configuration.

George Russell’s entire new power unit has also been confirmed, resulting in a back of the grid start for the driver that currently sits second in the championship standings.

The only new item for McLaren is a new brake duct that is specific to the higher cooling requirements in Singapore, while at Red Bull there’s also a new front wing – one that it says was achieved by modifying a previous front wing assembly – to increase local load, and enlarged rear brake duct exits for cooling purposes.
