This is the end of this live text from the Singapore Grand Prix. Thank you for joining us and see you next week for the Japanese Grand Prix. Have a great rest of the day everyone

T59

Excellent operation for McLaren thanks to Norris, 4th, and Ricciardo, 5th. With this result and the retirements of Alonso and Ocon, the English team regains 4th place in the Manufacturer's championship at Alpine for 4 points. Gasly finished with the point of 10th place and continued with a second consecutive finish in the Top 10.

T59

Victory for Pérez in the streets of Singapore. Second success of the season for the Mexican after Monaco last May. Leclerc and Sainz completed. There will be no title for Verstappen this Sunday who finally finished 7th after getting rid of Vettel on the last lap.

We will still have to be attentive in the coming minutes because Pérez is still under investigation for a possible breach of the procedure behind the Safety Car

Singapore

T58

End of timer. Pérez will complete a 59th lap and the checkered flag will be waved

T57

Hamilton went into the wet zone while braking and missed the rope. He saw Verstappen steal 8th place from him and is now attacking Vettel

T56

There are less than 5 minutes of racing left. Pérez remains in the lead with a 3″6 lead over Leclerc and 15 over Sainz. Verstappen is 9th and tries to attack Hamilton who is resisting for the moment

T54

Pérez is asked to attack to try to put Leclerc within 5 seconds. The Mexican will be investigated after the race for a possible breach of safety car procedure. Less than 9 minutes left

T52

Verstappen in the points. The championship leader went from 11th to 9th place in two laps after overtaking Bottas and Gasly. Hamilton is now just under 5 seconds ahead of him

T49

Pérez breathes. Leclerc missed a rope point and lost a little time. The Mexican is a little more than a second ahead of the Monegasque and is safe from DRS. A quarter of an hour of racing remains

T47

Verstappen passes Magnussen to gain 11th position. He now has just under 20 minutes to catch up with Bottas who is 7 seconds ahead to hope to score a point

T43

Leclerc puts a lot of pressure on Pérez who is suffering with his car. The race management authorized the use of DRS. The Monegasque continues the rapid laps and could quickly go on the attack

T41

Puncture for Russell after contact with Schumacher at the back of the peloton. Verstappen took advantage of this to gain 2 places. He is 12th.

T40

Verstappen at fault on the restart. The Dutchman shifted onto the wet part of the track while trying to overtake Norris to gain 4th place. He managed to restart 8th but returned to the pits to change tires. The Dutchman could finish without a single point. He leaves 14th on soft tires

T38

End of the safety car at the end of this 38th lap

T37

We will not complete the planned 61 laps of the race. The race direction has just started the remaining time clock. A little less than 36 minutes of racing remain

T37

Here is the current ranking after the supply salvo

T37

The safety car did the business of Ricciardo who took the opportunity to stop and above all gain several positions. The Australian came out 6th. With Norris 4th, McLaren could make a big move in the fight for 4th place in the Constructors' standings against Alpine of which both pilots retired today

T36

Tsunoda into the wall. The Japanese misjudged his braking on slick tires and crashed his AlphaTauri into the protections. The safety car once again intervenes on the track

T35

Pérez responds immediately with a good stop in 2″8 followed by Sainz and Verstappen a little further on. The Grand Prix could get carried away

T34

We try the slicks at Ferrari with Lelerc. Bad save for the Monegasque in 5″3. He returned to 3rd place on medium tires. Hamilton also came by and changed his front wing there. Gasly, Tsunoda, Bottas and Magnussen also tried the bet. Red Bull should respond quickly
