Max Verstappen was brilliant in cruising to Singapore victory… but it’s just a matter of time before wonderkid Kimi Antonelli clinches his maiden title, writes JONATHAN McEVOY

Kimi Antonelli, at 20, is the Formula One champion-elect and nobody can get near to him. It’s all over and the rest can switch their engines off right now.

Yes, Max Verstappen won the Singapore Grand Prix, his 73rd triumph but his first here under the lights of the city track. It was another demonstration of the Dutchman’s brilliance, a dominant win from pole that was never in doubt in a largely boring race.

Antonelli, the great aggregator from Bologna, finished third, separated from Verstappen by Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.

So strong has Antonelli been this season that he can secure the title
