Sergio Perez wins wet, high-attrition Singapore Grand Prix.
When today's Singapore Grand Prix was scheduled to start, torrential rains had left racing safely unviable and the race's tradition of being run at night made made track drying a slower process than in a more traditional race. After a delay of an over an hour, the wet track was dried by the field over the course of the time-certain 2-hour race. That process led to more than a normal GP's fair share of on-track incidents.
The actual has not yet been announced, so it is still possible that the stewards could choose to give Perez an unusual ten second time penalty for the infraction and change the result of the race. Max Verstappen slid from eighth to outside of the top ten on the start and his race never got any easier. He would climb into the top five before a bad lock-up on a restart, forcing another pit stop and pushing him back into the mid-pack. Red Bull's star was able to eventually fight his way back to seventh by beating out final points scorers Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, and Pierre Gasly.
