Red Bull's Sergio Perez win F1 Singapore Grand Prix

SINGAPORE: Red Bull's Sergio Perez won the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday (Oct 2) as championship-leading teammate Max Verstappen was made to wait at least another week for his second Formula One title.

Perez, whose victory was provisional pending a post-race investigation into a possible infringement while the safety car was deployed, finished 7.595 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc whose teammate Carlos Sainz was third.

Verstappen had needed to win to secure the title with five rounds to spare but finished seventh in a rain-delayed night race with only 14 finishers.
