McLaren’s Lando Norris dominated and won the Singapore GP as he finished almost 21 seconds ahead of Red Bulls’ Max Verstappen. The pole ended with another McLaren’s pilot – Oscar Piastri, who was almost 42 seconds behind the winner.
All the other pilots finished more than a minute behind the winner, Norris, as George Russell ended the race 4th, 1 minute and 1 second behind Lando. Charles Leclerc was 5th – over 1 minute and 2 seconds behind the 1st place.

Lewis Hamilton finished 6th, Carlos Sainz 7th and all the other pilots finished a whole lap behind Norris.
In the general standings, Verstappen is still the leader with 331 points as his lead ahead of Norris is 52 points, but Lando can dream because until the end of the Formula 1 season, there are still 6 races, and if he continues with his form, anything is possible.
Lando took 26 points out of the Max lead in the last 4 races.
