How did soft tyre emerge as the star of Singapore Grand Prix?

The Soft tyre emerged as the standout performer at the Singapore Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen achieving victory after a flawless race weekend. He started on the C5 Soft tyres, managing to complete a one-stop strategy by switching to Medium tyres, while both Leclerc and Antonelli opted for a second pit stop during the race.

Pirelli's Motorsport Director, Dario Marrafuschi, highlighted the unexpected durability and performance of the C5 Soft, which allowed drivers to maintain competitive lap times over extended stints. The Hard tyre, however, was not used during the race due to its lack of grip compared to the Medium, demonstrating the importance of tyre selection based on circuit characteristics.
