Singapore Grand Prix 2024 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Lando Norris delivered a stunning display of dominance at the Singapore Grand Prix, leading all 62 laps to claim victory by over 20 seconds and cut Max Verstappen's championship lead to just 52 points. The British driver's flawless performance under the demanding night-race conditions marked a pivotal moment in the title fight.

Starting from pole position, Norris controlled the race from lights to flag, managing the physical and mental challenge of Singapore's humidity and longest race distance with masterful precision. Remarkably, this was the first-ever Safety Car-free Singapore Grand Prix, with Norris becoming the first driver to lead every lap from pole position in his F1 career. The 21-second winning margin over Verstappen underlined McLaren's superiority, as the Red Bull driver could only watch helplessly from second place.

Oscar Piastri completed a McLaren one-two finish in third, while Daniel Ricciardo set the fastest lap in what proved to be his final F1 race before being dropped by RB. The result sent a clear message - with seven races remaining and McLaren now the dominant force, the championship was far from over. Norris's clinical performance raised questions about whether he could overcome Verstappen's points advantage in the season's closing stages.
