Max Verstappen gave Red Bull something to cheer for
Max Verstappen taking his and Red Bull’s first win of the year with a dominant drive in a dramatic Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia at least makes the final races of the season more interesting. It also augurs well for a thrilling Singapore race this weekend.
Verstappen led home the Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli, who took a giant leap towards his first world title when team-mate George Russell retired from third place with a power unit failure with five laps to go.
Antonelli now leads Russell by 84 points with either six or seven races remaining. Lewis Hamilton drove an extraordinary race after dropping towards the back with an incorrect tyre choice for a wet start to fight back to pass Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar for third place.
The final race in this triple-header heads to the Marina Bay Street Circuit for the sixth and final sprint event of the season. There’s a chance to score some Saturday points in the shorter race, but whatever happens Antonelli will remain well clear.
