Overview

• George Russell led every lap to win the Singapore Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen second and Lando Norris third.
• Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri made opening‑lap contact as Norris passed for third, and Piastri later called the move “not very team‑like” before Norris defended his decision.
• McLaren sealed the Constructors’ Championship with Norris P3 and Piastri P4, while Piastri’s drivers’ lead over Norris was trimmed to 22 points; Verstappen is 63 points back with six races left and three Sprints.
• Team boss Andrea Stella said Piastri’s viral ‘radio cut’ during Zak Brown’s congratulations was caused by the car being powered down, which also ends the broadcast feed.
• Lewis Hamilton nursed a late brake issue, repeatedly left the track and received a five‑second penalty that dropped him behind Fernando Alonso, whose radio outburst and later social‑media exchanges with Hamilton kept scrutiny on stewarding and coverage.
