2024 F1 SINGAPORE GP RACE by Peter Windsor

The deft touch of McLaren-Mercedes' Lando Norris was on full display on race night in Singapore - from his perfect start to his equally-perfect finish. This wasn't a race filled with high drama; indeed, there were no Safety Car interventions. The evening provided, though, a stunning display of mechanical and athletic virtuosity. Lando was a couple of seconds ahead of Red Bull-Honda's Max Verstappen in the opening phase when he responded to his engineer's request to "open a five-second gap" by quickly creating an 18-second cushion. It was breathtaking to watch. Max duly finished second; Oscar Piastri made it a McLaren one-three; and George Russell finished P4 for Mercedes, ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. Peter Windsor in this video looks back at a memorable night in the city that never sleeps.
