Overview
- McLaren sealed a second straight and tenth overall constructors’ crown in Singapore.
- An opening-lap brush between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri triggered angry radio messages from Piastri and fresh scrutiny of their on-track boundaries.
- Team principal Andrea Stella ordered a detailed internal review to weigh both drivers’ perspectives and safeguard trust, with no formal policy change announced.
- Prominent voices, including Christian Danner, argue the “Papaya Rules” should give way to firmer orders or even a clear No. 1 to prevent further intra-team conflict.
- The drivers’ title margin sits at 22 points in Piastri’s favor as Red Bull’s recent gains and viral moments around McLaren’s team optics intensify the pressure.
