Sergio Perez overtook Leclerc at the start of the race and held on to a superb win on F1's return to Singapore.

The McLaren pair of Lando Norris and Daniel Riccardo cashed in on the various safety cars and the misfortune of their rivals at Alpine to bag a P4 and P5. It will cause any harm as Perez regardless of a penalty has enough of a margin to Leclerc. Pierre Gasly managed P10 for AlphaTauri while his teammate Yuki Tsunoda retired from the race after he crashed into the wall. It was clearly a race of attrition and the Mexican held the fort and absorbed moments of extreme pressure when he had issues with the drivability of his Honda engine with a pumped-up Leclerc catching him with DRS as the cars moved to slick tyres in the second half of the race. Carlos Sainz Jr in the other Ferrari managed a rather discrete P3 after he overtook Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes at the start of the race. Perez has now caught up to within 2 points of Leclerc for P2 in the championship but Verstappen’s advantage is still worth more than 4 race wins despite his P7.

Sergio Perez takes the win from Charles Leclerc, but is under investigation for a Safety Car infringement.

As Max Verstappen (and Lewis Hamilton) made a mess of the Singapore Grand Prix, Sergio Perez produced masterclass.

Winning in Singapore never comes easy, doubly so in the wet, and Perez deserves enormous credit for his execution of the race. If Red Bull goes back to being untouchable from here, we need Perez to give Verstappen a playmate at the front. On a day when so many drivers made errors – including Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton – he kept his head and didn’t put a foot wrong. But in Singapore, he seized his chance to take a morale-boosting victory. He wasn’t at his usual best and the error trying to pass Lando Norris was particularly out of character. As for Hamilton, he seemed a bit more out of tune.

Red Bull's Sergio Perez raced ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to win his first-ever Singapore Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver then pried P7 off Vettel with a pass on the very last lap of the race. That gave Verstappen P8, despite the Dutchman having locked up heavily in the final Safety Car restart. Hamilton secured ninth, while Verstappen got the seventh position. (Only the headline and picture of this report may have been reworked by the Business Standard staff; the rest of the content is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.) Hamilton, who had previously gone straight on into the barriers on Lap 33, locked up in an attempt to pass Vettel in the final two minutes of the race and dropped to ninth. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen both collided with barriers as they struggled with the stop-start nature of the race caused by the changing weather and several yellow flags.

Sergio Pérez won for the second time this season with Charles Leclerc second, Max Verstappen seventh and Lewis Hamilton in ninth.

His tyres were shot and he was forced to pit for new rubber and emerged from fifth place in 14th at the back of the field. Yet the win he required was long gone as his teammate closed out his victory with calm assurance. Hamilton stopped, too, for a new front wing and rubber, and Verstappen followed a lap later. This was Pérez’s first win at the Singapore GP and the fourth of his career. He managed to keep going and rejoined in front of Verstappen in fifth but with a damaged front wing. He had a poor start and then dropped places trying too hard to make up a position in the latter stages, making an error that was even more costly.

He was able to continue but dropped to P8 and after pitting to shed flat-spotted tyres for new softs he rejoined in P14. Pérez pitted from the lead and after taking on medium tyres he was able to comfortably rejoin in the lead. After the race the Mexican driver was handed a repirmand and a five-second for falling more than 10 car lengths behind the Safety Car. The Briton was able to carry but fell back between fourth-placed Lando Norris and Verstappen in sixth. In the second decision, the stewards said that the Red Bull driver had ignored a warning from race direction to close the gap and as such was handed the five-second penalty. Behind Vettel, Hamilton finished ninth and the final point on offer went to Pierre Gasly. Following the race he was summoned to the stewards and handed a reprimand and a five-second time penalty for safety car infringements, but with a 7.5s gap to Leclerc, kept his win. Further back Verstappen bogged down at the start and dropped to P12. The Dutchman rose steadily through the order after a poor start but then was forced to battle back from 14th after a late-race lock-up. He was freed on lap 21, however, when Alonso suffered and engine failure and steered his Alpine up an escape road. The Mexican got better traction off the line and powered past Leclerc as they raced towards the first corner. Sergio Pérez passed polesitter Charles Leclerc at the start and resisted race-long pressure from the Ferrari driver to take a hard-earned victory at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Christian Horner has reiterated he is confident Red Bull stayed within Formula One's budget cap rules last season.

“It was a confidential submission between the team and the FIA.

Sergio Perez emerged the winner but does he receive the highest score in Edd Straw's F1 driver ratings this week?

Schumacher’s race was a good example of fine margins as he was running just outside the points when he pitted for slicks a lap before the second safety car. His final Q2 lap, on intermediates, started well but began to get away from him at Turn 8 thanks to overworking the rear tyres early in the lap. Bottas should have made it out of Q1, but things didn’t work out well in terms of timing once the team committed to him staying out on his original set of intermediates. Albon’s race started to go wrong almost immediately with a spin at Turn 7 on the opening lap, clipping the wall. But once he reached the wetter part at Turn 16, the time slipped away thanks to the lack of grip. Unlike Stroll, he didn’t set a serious lap time on the slicks thanks to errors in tricky conditions, leaving him down in 14th. Opted to start Q3 on intermediates, which meant he was out of sync and without the chance to run longer on the softs and exploit the available grip. His race pace wasn’t as strong as Norris, but he did the ideal job for the team. But the switch to softs in Q3 improved matters, and although Norris had an untidy middle part of the lap sixth was a better result than expected. Started from the pits after a complete power unit change and was always likely to spend the race stuck in traffic. Lost a place to Sainz at the start, which was costly as he got stuck behind the Ferrari and lost touch with the leaders. [Described his race as “incredibly messy”](/formula-1/incredibly-messy-verstappen-on-his-worst-f1-race-of-2022/), with the anti-stall kicking in at the start and ensuring he finished the first lap down in 12th.
