Singapore GP: Lando Norris wins at the tricky Marina Bay Circuit, Verstappen holds second

The Singapore GP is a complete domination by McLaren and Lando Norris. The British racer started the Singapore GP in a pole position and he dominated the race completely and won the race comfortably. Max Verstappen and RedBull couldn't catch Lando as McLaren was flying throughout the race with a 20+ seconds lead advantage. Mercedes adds more to Hamilton’s frustration as an early tyre swap has cost the 7-time champion the pole position.  

McLaren Increase championship chances

McLaren has now increased their constructors title lead against Red Bull who dominated last year completely. Lando Norris has neared Verstappens championship points with 51 points behind. Only a few races left with Lando winning every race title fight could lead to Abudhabi as a showdown.
