It was all change on the Formula 1 podium as Carlos Sainz of Ferrari took victory at Marina Bay, ahead of McLaren’s Landon Norris and Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes, so how does that change the F1 Driver and Constructor Standings after the 2023 Singapore GP.
Sainz, who started in pole position, led from start to finish and even survived a late onslaught from the Mercedes pair of George Russell and Hamilton, who used a late virtual safety car to fit new medium tyres with the Ferrari driver and Norris on old hards.
To his credit, Sainz used all his racing nous and allowed Norris into the DRS range which aided his defence against the much faster Mercedes pair.
Then to add further drama to the race, Russell clipped the wall and went careering into the barrier while he was running in third.
