00:00It's lights out, and away we go. Leclerc and Perez get away well.
00:04Hamilton behind Leclerc, wanting to get on with it, as is Pierre Gasly in the AlphaTaurian.
00:09Sergio Perez leads them into the first corner, as he did in Baku.
00:13Hamilton goes wide. Carlos Sainz will slip through into third place.
00:17Lando Norris putting pressure on Lewis Hamilton.
00:19Fernando Alonso has lost places one by one. They're all making their way round.
00:23Max Verstappen looks to have got bogged down a little bit and lost places going into turn one.
00:28We now make the turn right-handed and onto the Raffles Boulevard,
00:31and it's a long straight towards the next left-hander,
00:34and you can see the spray coming up there,
00:36but nothing to interfere with Sergio Perez's view.
00:40He's out in front. Lando Norris has a look at Lewis Hamilton around the outside.
00:44Fernando Alonso keeping Pierre Gasly at bay,
00:46and that looks like Kevin Magnussen and the Haas going off,
00:49and it looks like a Williams of Nicolas Latifi, I think, or Alex Albon,
00:53who has gone off at turn seven and was going backwards down the escape road.
00:56Lewis Hamilton had a helping hand off the road in turn two by Carlos Sainz at the start.
01:03Verstappen's getting his elbows out,
01:04and I think he might have made contact with the back of Lance Stroll's Aston Martin,
01:08and once again losing more places.
01:10That's Daniel Ricciardo making his way past Max Verstappen.
01:13Verstappen on the inside will now try and get that place back again,
01:17and he does. Verstappen not having an easy start here.
01:19Worth pointing out, Sebastian Vettel in eighth place, tremendous start from him in his final
01:27Singapore Grand Prix. His teammate Lance Stroll under pressure now from Max Verstappen,
01:31who slides down the inside and moves his Red Bull up into the top ten.
01:35The guy just fully squeezed me into the wall, guys. I don't know what he's doing.
01:50Copy, I've seen it. Safety car.
01:52Safety got the full safety car as well.
01:54Green flags waving. Peres from Leclerc, from Sainz, from Hamilton, from Norris.
02:00There's Alonso, and then comes Gasly and Vettel and Max Verstappen once again,
02:05right on Sebastian Vettel's tail. And Verstappen certainly wasn't called a nappen
02:09at the start of the race once again. He was very much on his toes and trying to get past
02:16Sebastian Vettel. And has he had a little look down the inside, I wonder?
02:20Yes. He has got ahead of Sebastian Vettel. Max Verstappen up into eighth place where he started
02:26the race. Max Verstappen a long, long way from thinking about how to celebrate a second world
02:32title. To give it some more thought, he goes down the inside and onto the Esplanade Bridge,
02:38and he finds himself ahead of Pierre Gasly. Verstappen and Alonso just swapping places there.
02:45We've now got a yellow flag out there on the track too, in the middle part of the lap. As Fernando
02:51Alonso stops. Copy.
02:57Oh, Yuki. You go slightly off line, and that's on inters. You go slightly off line,
03:02and you'll be straight in the wall. This is what happened to Alex Albon.
03:07Just couldn't get the grip. Oh, it's one of those horrible, silly shunts. He's gone in, the front won't
03:13bite. He's then gone on to the wetter part of the track, and then had a very pedestrian, just under
03:20stairs towards the wall. Oh no. It's the gap back down to 2.7 at shank three on the top of the screen.
03:26Oh, and that's Lewis Hamilton going straight on. Hamilton, frustrated behind Carlos Sainz,
03:33has gone straight on, and has hit the barrier. Down at turn seven. Norris and Verstappen
03:39coming to the scene of the accident. Hamilton rejoins the track. Norris goes through. Hamilton
03:45rejoins the race ahead of Max Verstappen. Over the bumps. Just couldn't turn. Well, committed,
03:52didn't he, to the corner, and couldn't go down the escape road. And that's the issue for Yuki Tsunoda.
03:57He's gone into the barriers at turn 10. Suchov, Suchov, engine off. That could well be a full safety car.
04:06They've got to fix the barrier there. He's gone in at about 80 miles an hour, Yuki Tsunoda. Safety car,
04:13full safety car, has been deployed. Let's see what they've got in store for us now, as we race towards
04:20the chequered flag. Sergio Perez into the first corner, ahead of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
04:24Max Verstappen right up behind Lando Norris. Daniel Ricciardo comes next on the soft compound tyre.
04:30Everyone else bar Bottas is on the medium compound tyre. Yeah, both Red Bulls then using the straight line
04:36to try to put some energy into the tyre. You're not really losing anything down there, swinging around,
04:42and you can see then Verstappen immediately with lots of confidence. Behind Ricciardo, Stroll,
04:48Vettel, Hamilton and Gasly complete the top 10. There goes Max Verstappen locking up his brakes,
04:53and Max Verstappen goes straight on, manages to stop in time, spins the car around 180 degrees,
04:59and rejoins the race. Verstappen went for it, but were those tyres and brakes too cold to make such
05:05a bold move? What's happened to George Russell? Yeah, he's got a puncture. Has he...
05:11What the hell happened there? You turn right into him, George. He came out last after having to pit
05:19for new tyres, and Max Verstappen has just put himself into the points. He's got past Valtteri Bottas.
05:26Gazi's on the medium compound tyre, Verstappen getting very, very racy and picking up a couple of
05:32World Championship points. Next car up ahead is Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton, this time having a go on
05:39Sebastian Vettel. Vettel positions his car absolutely perfectly to deny him. Hamilton,
05:44is he going to go down the inside? Has to lock up! Verstappen goes through on Hamilton! Verstappen
05:50just bided his time a little bit. Hamilton made the move on Sebastian Vettel. It didn't come off,
05:54and Verstappen said thank you very much.
05:56He stood alive. Oh, as Max Verstappen makes the move on Sebastian Vettel. Straight line speed of the
06:02Red Bull looks pretty good if he can make it into the corner okay, and Sebastian Vettel does get
06:07overtaken by Max Verstappen, who's up into seventh place, but while he'll look at just a few points,
06:13it's going to be maximum points for Sergio Perez, who on the streets of Singapore, wins the 2022
06:21Singapore Grand Prix. This, the greatest race for Sergio Perez. Vamos, Checo. Unbelievable. What a drive.
06:31This is how we do it, man. We shut our mouth and we work hard. This is the Mexican win. Well done, guys.
06:39Well, it was the nights that Max Verstappen had his first chance at winning a World Championship,
06:45but it was his teammate who decided to go and grab the headlines. He led every single lap of the race,
06:50up to lap 48. Sergio Perez on top of the podium and having a brilliant night here in Singapore.
06:58Our winner this evening.
