Perez wins Singapore Grand Prix with Hamilton hitting barrier and Verstappen having to wait for title after coming 7th
SERGIO PEREZ won his second race of the season as team-mate Max Verstappen failed to wrap up the title in Singapore.
Verstappen could have sealed the title if results had gone his way, but as with the spill over from Saturday’s qualifying nightmare the reigning world champion suffered a horror show during the race.

Despite Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc starting on pole, Perez was quicker off the line and claimed P1 by the time the first turn was reached.
And from there he produced one of his best-ever races to beat Leclerc to the chequered flag.
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton suffered a less than ideal race as his best qualifying result of the season only rewarded with two points on race day with a P9 finish.
