Max Verstappen wins Singapore Grand Prix as Kimi Antonelli closes in on F1 title
SINGAPORE (AP) --- Max Verstappen raced hard into the first corner then cruised
to back-to-back Formula 1 wins at the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday.
Verstappen had been concerned about his Red Bull car's "horrendous" starts and
was slow off the line again, but managed to squeeze Charles Leclerc to the
inside heading into the first corner and held the lead.
Leclerc was second as Verstappen followed up on his first victory of the season
in Malaysia last week and sprint race win Saturday.
Kimi Antonelli overtook Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton for third to increase
his standings lead. Mercedes teammate George Russell came through the field to
ninth after starting at the back.
