SINGAPORE, Sept 18 — Red Bull’s hopes of winning every race in the 2023 season were dashed in Singapore, where Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz triumphed and an exciting rookie claimed his first championship points.Red Bull’s winning streak finally came to an end in a chastening weekend under the floodlights as Sainz drove a perfect race to hang on to victory for Ferrari.
That left Sainz, Lando Norris of McLaren and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton to cross the line nose-to-tail in a breathless finish. Verstappen is still runaway favourite to claim a third world title in a row but must wait a little while longer. As a result, Norris was able to hold off the Mercedes pair of Russell and Hamilton, whose bold gamble to switch to fresh tyres with 18 laps remaining so nearly paid off.
Sainz saw it in his mirrors and the quick-thinking Spaniard backed off when his instinct might have been to put his foot down. Three weeks ago Lawson was a spectator in the back of the garage when Daniel Ricciardo broke his hand in a Friday practice crash at Zandvoort.
