Bernie Ecclestone predicts one 'magic guy' on the Formula 1 grid will beat the likes of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris to the drivers' title 'in the next two years'

Lando Norris has survived two brushes with barriers to win the Singapore Grand Prix with ease and cut into Max Verstappen’s Formula 1 standings lead.

Lando Norris wins his third Formula One race of the season, taking the Singapore Grand Prix 20 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen. This narrows the driver championship gap to 50 points, with Verstappen still in the lead.

Lando Norris claimed his third victory of the 2024 Formula One season as McLaren extend their advantage in the Constructors’ Championship. But F1 fans are not convinced the Britain will go on to claim the drivers title himself ahead of Max Verstappen.

Lando Norris dominated Formula 1’s Singapore Grand Prix, but Max Verstappen limited the damage in the title race by finishing a distant second, in a soporific encounter under the lights around the streets of Marina Bay. Just seven cars finished on the lead lap, and only two challengers finished within one minute of race-winner Norris.

Lando Norris won the Singapore Grand Prix with ease and cut into Max Verstappen’s championship lead with six races remaining in the season.

Formula One tensions are boiling with Max Verstappen just about clinging on to a fourth-consecutive World Drivers' Championship. The Dutchman has been frustrated with the performance of his Red Bull and his previous dominance on track has declined to a mere 52-point lead over Lando Norris with six races remaining.
