Verstappen dominates for first grand prix win in Singapore

Max Verstappen secured his inaugural victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, maintaining control from the opening turn after successfully defending against an early challenge from Charles Leclerc. This result marks back-to-back wins for the Red Bull driver following his recent success in Malaysia.

Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli finished third, extending his championship lead to 102 points. With George Russell placing ninth, Antonelli could potentially secure his maiden world title at the upcoming United States Grand Prix on October 25 if he wins and his teammate finishes ninth or lower.

Lewis Hamilton struggled to sixth place after a lengthy stint on soft tires, while Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri also finished ahead of the Mercedes driver.
