Carlos Sainz wins Singapore GP to end Max Verstappen and Red Bull's run

Ferrari's Carlos Sainz led the Singapore Grand Prix from start to finish on Sunday to end Formula One leader Max Verstappen's record run of 10 wins in a row and crush Red Bull's dream of going through the season unbeaten.

McLaren's Lando Norris finished second and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton took third place as Red Bull ended up off the podium for the first time since last November's Brazilian GP.

Red Bull had won 15 successive races until this weekend but that looked set to end when they failed to qualify in the top 10.

Double world champion Verstappen started 11th and finished fifth, with team mate and closest rival Sergio Perez, last year's winner in Singapore, eighth.

Sainz controlled the pace of the night race from pole position to take only his second win, the first coming at the British GP at Silverstone last year.

Sainz seemed set for a comfortable win until a virtual safety car period 20 laps from the end gave the two Mercedes the chance to change to fresh medium compound tyres.

Russell and Hamilton soon passed the second Ferrari of Charles Lelerc, who finished fourth.

But when they got on the heels of the top two they could not get past as Sainz kept his former teammate Norris within DRS range so the Englishman could defend second place.

Incredible last-lap drama as Russell, chasing P2, crashes out!
