Sergio Perez's Singapore Grand Prix victory stands as stewards conclude safety car investigation

Sergio Perez has kept his Singapore Grand Prix victory after Formula 1 stewards concluded their investigation into his potential safety car infringement, handing him a five-second penalty.

Red Bull's Perez took the chequered flag ahead of Charles Leclerc with his Ferrari team-mate Carlos Sainz completing the podium. However, his Singapore win was subject to an investigation following an alleged infringement behind the safety car.
