Sergio Perez romped to a brilliant second victory of the season as he overtook pole sitter Charles Leclerc to win the Singapore Grand Prix. That saw Verstappen pit to replace the tyres, leaving him at the back of the grid and all the work to do to get back into the points. From one world champion in Verstappen to a man who has won it seven times – this was also a race for Lewis Hamilton to forget, too. While six drivers were unable to finish the race, nothing should take away from Ricciardo’s drive. What makes it even more heartbreaking for the Spaniard was that it was his 350th grand prix start – from which he started fifth – but it was one he couldn’t finish.
