Checo gave the best response he could after a run of one podium in six races. SingaporeGP 🇸🇬 F1
The Red Bull driver’s fourth career F1 victory came with a consummate drive that saw him lead from lights out to chequered flag around Marina Bay, overtaking pole-sitter Charles Leclerc before Turn 1 and not looking back from there.
It was a gap he needed too, with a lengthy investigation by the stewards resulting in a reprimand and a five-second penalty for the 32-year-old after dropping too far behind the Safety Car on multiple occasions – but he was able to keep his victory as a result. “It means a lot to me,” Perez said to Formula1.com after the race. “Every win is special but I’m the type of guy that is always working under the radar and not making big noises out there.
“So I’m super-happy to get this victory under my belt, and with such a strong performance out there today.”
