Russell Wins Singapore Grand Prix as McLaren Clinch Constructors’ Title and Norris–Piastri Flashpoint Tightens Drivers’ Race

Team management left the lap-one clash to the stewards, sharpening the title fight with six events still to run.

Overview

  • George Russell converted pole into a lights-to-flag victory at Marina Bay, keeping Max Verstappen at bay as overtaking proved scarce.
  • McLaren sealed the 2025 Constructors’ Championship in Singapore, securing back-to-back titles with six race weekends remaining.
  • Lando Norris’s Turn 3 move past Oscar Piastri involved contact with both his team-mate and Verstappen; stewards took no action and McLaren declined to impose team orders despite Piastri’s radio complaints.
  • Oscar Piastri’s lead over Norris is down to 22 points, with Verstappen 63 adrift; six rounds remain, including three Sprints that leave 174 points available.
  • Lewis Hamilton suffered a late brake issue, received a five-second penalty for leaving the track and later reflected on the setback and recent personal loss in an Instagram post.
