Sergio Perez has won a chaotic Singapore Grand Prix that saw Lewis Hamilton hit a barrier and multiple safety cars called out. However, his win is currently uncertain as stewards are due to investigate a potential safety car infringement against the Red Bull driver after the race.
The Mexican had one of his best ever days on track as he quickly took the lead of the rain-delayed grand prix, beating polesitter Charles Leclerc to the opening bend in damp conditions. Perez, starting second, was composed throughout as he went on to take victory, despite a charge from runner-up Leclerc to retake top spot. However, the result is pending the post-race investigation.
Hamilton, starting third, dropped one place behind Carlos Sainz at the start, before his race came unstuck after striking a barrier at turn seven on lap 44. He ended up dropping down the order from fourth place before recovering to finish ninth following a last-ditch Max Verstappen overtake.
