F1 Singapore GP LIVE: Race result as Lando Norris wins ahead of Max Verstappen
F1 live reaction from the Marina Bay Street Circuit as Norris wins ahead of title rival Verstappen
Lando Norris produced a statement win over Max Verstappen in Singapore to strike another dent into his rival’s world championship lead.
The British driver survived two scrapes with the wall, but still led every lap under the lights of the Marina Bay circuit to take the chequered flag 20.9 seconds clear of Red Bull’s Verstappen.
Norris’ win – the most emphatic of his career so far – means he trails Verstappen by 52 points with 180 points still to play for over the remaining six rounds.
Oscar Piastri finished third, one place ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell with Charles Leclerc fifth for Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton started third but crossed the line a disappointing sixth.
