Max Verstappen wins Singapore sprint after George Russell crashes from the lead

Max Verstappen won the Singapore Grand Prix sprint race after Mercedes driver George Russell crashed out of the lead on a wet-dry track.

• A 30-minute rain delay left the first lap half dry and half wet when Russell lost control at the final corner and spun into the wall.
• A final-lap collision between the McLarens as Lando Norris tried to pass Oscar Piastri promoted Kimi Antonelli to fourth.
• With Russell's retirement, Antonelli extended his championship lead to 89 points.
• Russell will start Sunday's race from the back of the grid after a penalty for changing his engine.
• Verstappen finished 2.591 seconds ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, taking his first sprint win of the season.
• Verstappen called on Formula 1 to stop holding sprint races at circuits where overtaking is difficult, citing minimal passing in Singapore.
• Charles Leclerc said city tracks such as Singapore and Monaco should not host sprint races.
• Lewis Hamilton said the race was only exciting because of the rain and called for changes to Singapore's layout to encourage overtaking.
• Russell crashed after touching a white line on the damp track, which brought out a safety car.
• Charles Leclerc finished third for Ferrari in the Singapore sprint race, behind Verstappen and Hamilton.
