The Singapore Grand Prix turned out to be a winner for Carlos Sainz. The Ferrari driver started on pole, and managed to keep everyone behind him at the end of the race. Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez were nowhere near a podium finish. The Dutchman finished fifth, and the Mexican eighth. This is how the internet reacted to the Singapore GP.
