00:00 Carlos Sainz led from start to finish to clinch the Singapore Grand Prix, ending Max Verstappen's
00:05 dominant winning streak of 10 consecutive wins. Sainz's strategic prouess was on full
00:11 display as he controlled the race, managing his tyres and helping former team-mate Lando
00:15 Norris hold off the chasing Mercedes duo. The excitement reached its peak when a virtual
00:20 safety car with 18 laps to go brought George Russell and Lewis Hamilton into contention
00:25 with fresh medium tyres. However, Sainz's defensive manoeuvres denied the Mercedes challenge,
00:31 whilst Verstappen had to settle for fifth place. This result sees Carlos Sainz secure
00:36 his second Formula One career win, whilst Verstappen still maintains a commanding lead
00:40 in the overall standings with 151 points over his closest rival Sergio Perez. As for the
00:46 Constructors' Championship, Red Bull remains in the lead with 597 points, followed by Mercedes
00:52 with 289 points and Ferrari with 265.
