Singapore Grand Prix

Ahead of the race weekend, Verstappen told F1i he hoped he wouldn’t have to do much overtaking as he would qualify much higher up in Singapore, but having lined up eighth on the grid he duly failed to get away and finally restarted from the pit lane a lap down. Two safety cars brought him back in to the pack and Verstappen was as clinical as ever with many moves, the most impressive of which coming when he forced Romain Grosjean - struggling more with tyres - to get defensive at Turn 14, allowing Verstappen a better exit to get on the inside on the short run to Turn 16 where he outbraked the Lotus to take eighth place.
