F1 Singapore GP: Weekend Awards

Best Overtake

Overtaking is usually at a premium around the streets of Singapore, but Sunday's race took that to the extreme. Just look how long it took Sergio Perez to get past Sergey Sirotkin's Williams (more on that later), normally that wouldn't be a contest. Sebastian Vettel put a good move in on Max Verstappen to get into second place on the first lap, but it's the Dutchman who takes this one home.

Max Verstappen's aggressive pit-exit was crucial for his

second place

finish.

Vettel had stopped early in an attempt to undercut Hamilton for the lead, but the Mercedes man remained ahead of the Ferrari challenger. Verstappen briefly led the race while Perez held Vettel up for a lap or two.

Max pitted onto softs and despite a slightly slow stop and a stuttering getaway, came out of the pits level with Vettel. The Red Bull driver had the inside line and pushed Seb wide, despite his warmer and faster tyres. It's not a typical overtake, but it was a crucial move, and a gritty and determined one at that.
