Their form evaporated without explanation over the weekend, something thought impossible beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>Verstappen finished fifth, and scored 10 points. He now cannot win the title in Japan next Sunday and will have to wait until Qatar on October 8. The procession, for it is still that, might even go down to Austin on October 22, with four races remaining.<\/p>\n<p>His team-mate Sergio Perez finished eighth. The gap between the pair went up from 145 points to 151 with a maximum of 206 remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Lando Norris finished second after a brilliant late duel with George Russell, who crashed out on the last lap in a nutty conclusion. Russell has been on Sainz\u2019s tail for much of the race but never a live threat until the death throes when he threw everything at it on medium tyres, only to come to griefby clipping the wall. Russell crash allowed Mercedes\u2019 team-mate Lewis Hamilton to take third place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/15\/75528701-12528485-image-a-46_1694959869047.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Russell screamed \u2018no\u2019 over the radio as his hopes evaporated.<\/p>\n<p>Sainz took the chequered flag 0.8sec ahead of Norris, who was 0.4 off Hamilton. \u2018I had such good pace there at the end,\u2019 said Hamilton.<\/p>\n<p>Russell\u2019s best hope was a good start from second on the grid, but he was relatively slowly away, losing ground not only to Sainz but also to the other Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. Hamilton cut the opening chicane but had to hand places back to Russell and Hamilton.<\/p>\n<p>The safety car came out on lap 20 when calamity kid Logan Sargeant drove into the wall at Turn 1. Here, Russell jumped Leclerc in the pits after the Ferraris double-stacked.<\/p>\n<p>Red Bull kept Verstappen, who had started 13th and risen to eighth, out on the hard tyres he had begun on. Ditto Perez. What else could they do? Each was passed, by Russell and Hamilton respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Sainz controlled the race with Russell a second and a bit back, with Norris third and Hamilton fourth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/17\/14\/75528067-12528485-image-a-37_1694958622887.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mercedes pitted with 17 of 62 laps left when a virtual safety car was deployed for Estaban Ocon\u2019s Alpine retiring, putting them on mediums in an attempt to use the quicker rubber to their advantage. But they surrendered second and fourth for fourth and fifth in the attempt \u2013 on a track not noted for its overtaking generosity.<\/p>\n<p>Russell was 18 seconds behind Sainz at this point. It was a tall order. The Ferrari had bags in reserve. Norris was second and Leclerc third as the race resumed \u2013 all the leading three cars banking on making it home on hard tyres after their one and only stop at the Sargeant-inspired safety car phase.<\/p>\n<p>Russell and Hamilton passed Leclerc and were hunting Norris and Sainz. It was nail-biting. They were locked in a train, end-to-end, all on the limit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We held our breaths. Sainz, who controlled the race superbly, held on rubber turning into ribbon. Russell brushed the wall. Hamilton moved up. Leclerc finished fourth.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/formulaone\/article-12528485\/Carlos-Sainz-WINS-Singapore-Grand-Prix-Lando-Norris-Lewis-Hamilton-George-Russell.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Carlos Sainz WINS the Singapore Grand Prix ahead of Lando Norris in second and Lewis Hamilton in third Carlos Sainz has secured the second F1 <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/racing\/f1\/sainz-wins-singapore-grand-prix-with-norris-second-and-hamilton-third\/\" title=\"Sainz WINS Singapore Grand Prix, with Norris second and Hamilton third\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-289000","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
