    SINGAPORE: Red Bull’s Sergio Perez (2:02:15.238) scored his second win of the season in Sunday’s Singapore GP, finishing ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc (+7.595 seconds), while title favourite Max Verstappen (+63.825 seconds) was forced to put his championship champagne on ice after finishing seventh. Carlos Sainz (+15.305 seconds), in the other Ferrari, was third. Verstappen, who had started eighth after being forced to abort his fastest qualifying lap due to a lack of fuel, went into the weekend with his first shot at wrapping up a second successive title. He needed to leave Singapore with at least a 138-point margin over his closest challenger. But, Sunday’s result puts him only 104 points clear of Leclerc and 106 ahead of Perez with five races to go.
