LANDO NORRIS produced a statement win over Max Verstappen in Singapore today to strike another dent into his rival’s world championship lead.

The British driver survived two scrapes with the wall, but still led every lap under the lights of the Marina Bay circuit to take the chequered flag 20.9 seconds clear of Red Bull’s Verstappen.

Norris’s win, the most emphatic of his career so far, means he trails Verstappen by 52 points with 180 points still to play for over the remaining six rounds.
