Lights to flag for the flying Norris

Formula One title contender Lando Norris led from pole to chequered flag to win the Singapore Grand Prix yesterday, narrowing the gap to championship leader Max Verstappen, who was second.

F1: HOLDS OFF VERSTAPPEN TO REDUCE THE TITLE LEAD.

It was the McLaren driver's third career GP win and his first from pole at his sixth attempt.

Team-mate Oscar Piastri was third, to extend their lead over Red Bull in the constructors' championship.

It was a remarkably incident-free run around the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the first in its 15-race history not to see a safety car deployed.

At the end of the 62 uninterrupted laps, Norris had reduced Verstappen's title lead to 52 points with six races and three sprints to go.
