F1 Singapore GP LIVE: Race result as Lando Norris wins ahead of Max Verstappen

“He’s good to lead every lap, his life will be easier if he can lead the first. Lando has been fast all weekend. All these guys are going to do their best to hassle us.

“We’ll take a team approach to the race.”

“It was a mega lap. The team did a very good job to give him a better car today, hope we can give McLaren a test today.

“It’s going to be an exciting first lap, McLaren are the favourites but hopefully we can give them a good motor race today.”

“It’s more about concentration with these F1 drivers. With what we do, we have to train and build our own engine, they’re so long. But the mental focus with this is brilliant to see. Concentrate and relax.

“Any sport comes here and sees the pinnacle of performance.”

In P17, Stroll’s Aston Martin is in pieces on the grid!

It’s a brake issue - will they get it ready in time for lights out?

“Normally Singapore is very interesting, tough on us and the tyres. Hope for a good race. We have to be careful what we say!”

It is now seven times that Norris has started an F1 race on pole – and seven times that he has failed to lead when starting lap two.

What has Norris been doing wrong? Are there repeated issues at the start line? We break down all seven of those pole position starts – dating back to 2021 – to highlight where Norris must improve if he is to start claiming consistent lights-to-flag victories with the minimum of fuss.

Will today be different?
