From thereon in, the papaya car disappeared into the distance, with Norris cutting Verstappen's championship lead to just 52 points.

Hamilton had started the race on the soft tyre whilst his rivals opted for a medium, but the Mercedes star’s strategy did not work out so well, ultimately finishing P6, with team-mate George Russell ahead of him in P4.

Norris’ team-mate Oscar Piastri snatched the final spot on the podium, boosting McLaren’s constructors’ championship bid further.

To make matters worse for Red Bull, Sergio Perez added just one point to their constructors’ tally after struggling around the streets of Marina Bay, finishing in P10.

After a tough qualifying session on Saturday, Ferrari stars Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz recovered to finish P5 and P7 respectively.
