Scuderia Ferrari Sebastian Vettel rose to claim the victory in the 2019 Singapore Grand Prix, his first win in over a year and after 22 races. The driver denied the top spot to teammate Charles Leclerc, who finished 2.641s behind the race leader. Ferrari's decision to push Vettel though wasn't too appreciated by Leclerc, who thought it was "unfair" but chose to follow team orders. Taking the last spot on the podium was Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen, securing his sixth podium finish of the season.

Honda's Marc Marquez dominated his way to the chequered flag right from the opening lap of the 2019 MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix.

With another win under his belt for the season, the 26-year-old now leads the points table by 98 points, and the next round in Thailand just might be the championship decider for the 2019 season.

Returning to INRC, Gill faces stiff competition from Dean Mascarenhas as well as Younus Ilyas.
