Overview
- George Russell won the Singapore Grand Prix, taking the fifth victory of his Formula 1 career.
- An opening‑lap clash between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri prompted Piastri’s radio complaint, Norris’s defense that the move was fair, and McLaren’s public line that the drivers can race hard and clean.
- Oscar Piastri leads the standings by 22 points over Norris and 63 over Max Verstappen with six races remaining, as several teams shift resources toward the 2026 rules reset.
- Lewis Hamilton received a five‑second penalty for repeated track‑limits breaches that promoted Fernando Alonso to seventh, and Hamilton later posted a mocking video referencing Alonso’s radio outburst.
- Williams were sent to the back of the grid after qualifying for rear‑wing flex breaches, a decision that left team boss James Vowles disappointed despite Carlos Sainz salvaging a point in the race.
