F1: HOLDS OFF VERSTAPPEN TO REDUCE THE TITLE LEAD.

It was the McLaren driver's third career GP win and his first from pole at his sixth attempt.

Team-mate Oscar Piastri was third, to extend their lead over Red Bull in the constructors' championship.

It was a remarkably incident-free run around the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the first in its 15-race history not to see a safety car deployed.

At the end of the 62 uninterrupted laps, Norris had reduced Verstappen's title lead to 52 points with six races and three sprints to go.
