Story summary

Max Verstappen won the wet and wild Singapore Grand Prix sprint race on Saturday after George Russell crashed his Mercedes car while leading at the end of the opening lap. Red Bull’s Verstappen secured a 2.50-second victory over Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton, with Charles Leclerc in third place. Meanwhile, McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided on the last lap, causing both to drop out or finish poorly; specifically, Piastri was eliminated from the race while Norris managed only an eighth-place finish. The heavy rain before the start led to a delay of 30 minutes, and all cars began using intermediate tires despite varying track conditions at Marina Bay Street Circuit. This incident marks another setback for Russell this season as he will now start Sunday’s Grand Prix from the back due to engine penalties.
