as for anthonyjoshua, huge questions remain over what happens next.d away now, i would raise a glass. but he is not going to. this is the lunacy and the craziness of this building that i am involved in, there is a rematch clause. you might see the whole thing again. we might see aj and daniel dubois again. that is the business. he is a fighter for a life and so are the fans. they will come back. believe it or not, we could see that we much. lando norris has put in one of the best performances of his career to win the singapore grand prix. the mcclaren driver led from start to finish to close the gap with championship leader max verstappen. joe lynskey was watching. lando norris left his car to elation and exhaustion. the singapore grand prix is one of f1's most gruelling. by night on the track, it gets to 37 celsius. norris got close to the world from the front. but behind him, each driver had to dig deep to get close. 0vertaking was not easy, even for the champion. max verstappen finished second but still leads in the standings. this was no landmark
