Verstappen wins Singapore GP as Hamilton finishes sixth

Max Verstappen won the Singapore Grand Prix for Red Bull, continuing the team's strong weekend with a sweep of the sprint events.

His race engineer, Gianpiero Lambiase, joined him in the victory, which could be their last together.

Lambiase is expected to leave Red Bull for McLaren, and Tom Hart is set to replace him.

Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton finished sixth after declining a pit stop when the team called him in during a virtual safety car period.

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur said the team's strategy had aimed to put pressure on Verstappen and protect a double podium.

The article says Hamilton's decision was the main mistake, as he then had to complete a long stint on soft tyres.

Hart is expected to take over radio duties for some races later this season.
