Max Verstappen took the Formula 1 sprint race at Marina Bay in Singapore on Saturday after race leader George Russell was eliminated by a crash in wet conditions. Verstappen also secured pole for the main grand prix, capping a big day for the Red Bull driver.
A collision between Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll drew attention during the sprint. After his win, Verstappen told reporters F1 should scrap sprint events at circuits like Singapore, where overtaking is almost out of the question. The main race is planned for Sunday.
