Max Verstappen keeps rewriting the record books. His victory at the Singapore Grand Prix was not only his first win at the Marina Bay circuit, it pushed the four-time world champion deeper into the history books for driver and team combination wins, cementing his place among the all-time greats in the sport.
Shifting to the Premier League, and Chelsea have a real problem on their hands. Captain Reece James is facing up to three months on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
