Max Verstappen won the Singapore Grand Prix on Sunday, according to ESPN Singapore, claiming the race for the first time in his Formula 1 career.
The Red Bull driver finished ahead of Charles Leclerc, with Kimi Antonelli taking third, the BBC reported. The Straits Times described Verstappen's run as a comfortable one, saying he coasted to the maiden Singapore victory.
The result came on Verstappen's 250th Formula 1 start, according to AsiaOne, which noted that Singapore had previously eluded him. CNA also reported the win as his first at the Marina Bay street circuit.
ESPN Singapore carried live updates, commentary and results through race day. The broadcaster's coverage was published on Sunday afternoon, Greenwich Mean Time.
Singapore had been one of the few venues on the calendar where Verstappen had not yet won. That changed with Sunday's result, which the outlets covering the race framed as a milestone achievement arriving on a landmark start for the Red Bull driver.
The finishing order behind him — Leclerc second for Ferrari and Antonelli third — was confirmed in the BBC's race result. Further details of the race, including the gaps between drivers and any incidents during the event, were not included in the material available.
Attention now turns to how the Singapore outcome shapes the rest of the season and whether Verstappen can carry the form into the next round of the championship.
