Lando Norris cruises to victory at Singapore Grand Prix to cut Max Verstappen's F1 lead
Lando Norris has survived two brushes with barriers to win the Singapore Grand Prix with ease and cut into Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 standings lead
SINGAPORE (AP) — Lando Norris survived a couple of brushes with barriers as he won the Singapore Grand Prix with ease and cut into Max Verstappen's Formula 1 standings lead Sunday.
Norris started on pole position ahead of Verstappen and steadily built a large lead for his third career win. All have come this year.
From now on, though, the title is no longer entirely in Norris' hands. Even if he wins every remaining race, second place in each would be enough for Verstappen to retain the title.
Norris started on pole position for the sixth time in his career and, for a driver with a tendency to lose places off the grid this season, had an unusually drama-free start. It was the first time Norris has won from pole without losing a place on the first lap.
