  "summary": "The Singapore Grand Prix sprint saw Red Bull's Max Verstappen claim victory on Saturday, despite a chaotic start to the race. The start was delayed by over 30 minutes due to heavy rain, leading to nine cars retiring - a record for sprint races. Mercedes' George Russell managed to overtake Verstappen on lap one, but the Briton crashed out on the final turn, allowing Verstappen to regain the lead. Verstappen finished ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, while championship leader Kimi Antolin was awarded fourth place after a collision between the two McLarens on the final lap.",
