F1 drivers' standings after Verstappen MISERY at Singapore Grand Prix

Max Verstappen managed to extend his lead over Sergio Perez in the Formula 1 drivers' championship this weekend, despite finishing just fifth at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Verstappen and Perez remain comfortable in first and second, but the third step on the season podium has a new occupant for the very first time since the first race of the season.

Lewis Hamilton's third place finish, gifted to him by his team-mate George Russell's crash in the closing stages, puts him 10 points ahead of Fernando Alonso – who failed to pick up a single point to cap a miserable weekend for Aston Martin.
