Singapore GP: Martin Brundle on Lando Norris-liacar Piastri Collision, and George George’s Victory | F1 news

Congratulations to McLaren. With six events to go, they secured consecutive youth titles, and at 650 points, they are currently doubling the closest closest competitors and the Mercedes -Benz power unit.

This is an impressive performance at the very least, even if they lose their absolute advantage in the past three races.

The qualification and race in Singapore belongs to George Russell and the Mercedes team. It was a dominant performance that reminded us of Canada earlier this year, two rapidly raised the qualifiers and the perfect launch of the network gave George the race control. He knew exactly how to deal with it for the next 62 rp.

Surprisingly, George VII will be only in the pole and the GP Valent Fifth Win. It would be easy to doubt a greater number, but this is a reminder that he spent most of his early career in the Williams team’s wild, which was fighting at the time before moving to the upper floor to Mercedes.

All the talk about Max Verstapen after a long shot in overcoming McLaren drivers to the tournament, and McLaren ended the title of the facilities, but after feeling a thorns and destroyed his car in the barriers on Friday, Ras a messenger sent the headlines.

Since we are used to that, the field is now identical to now, and we need to be proud of these times, even if the transgression is increasingly difficult with such air -loaded cars and good delivery. It is difficult there, which means that if the driver has a relatively disappointing qualified performance, it will not be just a row or two on the network, but near five rows.

McLaren excels in long, high -speed angles and tracking surfaces with high tires and deterioration, and we did not go to one of these recently. The team expects to resume regular service in Brazil, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, and to be relatively better in Austin, but it seems clear that Red Paul and Mercedes have closed the gap.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to say the same for Ferrari, which is still outside the leading pace, although the best in the rest despite great drivers in Charles Licorlek and Luis Hamilton. The Leclerc will finish this race in the sixth of about 46 seconds of the winner, and Hilmlton in the eighth although it is well done to persuade his car at his home.

“An opportunistic and wonderful Noris”

There was a decent rainy storm for an hour or so before the cars went to the network, and that circle could take a afternoon to dry, but it was sunny throughout the day and the surface was a lot of the remaining heat, and dry it very quickly, so that everyone started on soft or medium -compound tires.

The F1 racing line and all support races are located on the right side of the hole directly on this temporary city circle, and therefore this is more clean and more fragile. This means that Russell fired well but drivers like Versabpeen and Hamilton on the left, less than that.

This, in turn, placed PiaSSTRI in the vicinity of VersabPen and opened the door inside to quickly start the attack and demand the inner line of the third floor. It was very opportunistic and wonderful from it, but on the wet surface and a mark on the back of the Red Bull in VersabPen and caused damage to his front wing, the elbows continued to overcome it through the liar of his teammate, who did not like at the very least. The sweat supervisors were less concerned about the opening lap, and no penalty was applied.

PiaSSTRi appealed to the team to sort this given the “non -contact” rules between them, which they refused. The post -race team could have been interrogated, and I have no doubt at all that the dynamics between McLaren drivers would change irreversible. It was just a matter of time.

McLaren may now allow drivers quietly, and stop, between them with zero intervention. Any nuclear repercussions will be reduced by the need to finish races, result points, avoid penalties in the race, avoid picking her husband, and run out of the last specifications of the parts with the team’s focus on 2026.

Just like again in Monza, the team asked Norris, who was the pioneer McLaren with the rights of the first hole, giving up this high land again to help his teammate defending the defense against LECLERC, and thus helps him record more points. But on this occasion, Norris said, “No” and incited first. Since the pure chance you will get it, it was received and then stopped very fast, and PiaSSTRI stopped in the second hole, which is the opposite of the total of Monza.

Norris made the correct call, but despite his dirt throughout the race, he could not find a road to Red Bull Versaben, although Max was not satisfied with his equipment and other aspects of his car’s behavior.

“Wonderful event with unexpected results”

When the leaders negotiated large queues of the tied traffic, the gaps were released and flowed. Verstapn had incited new tires in the 19 lap, but despite waiting for the correspondent to the 25th, NORRIS LAP 26, and PiaSSTRI LAP 27, their excuse rubber did not make this difference a lot with the indication of Verstapen.

On his first visit to plan the path and physical challenges in the heat and moisture, Mercedes Kimi Antonelli, on his first visit to plan the path and physical challenges in heat and humidity, did very strong in fifth place, including the excellent transgression of Ferrari Locklec. This team helped achieve more land in the close battle with Ferrari for the second place in the creators.

Fernando Alonso was driving the wheels off Aston Martin throughout the weekend, and despite stopping a nine -second hole, along with two severe abuses, he beat seventh place after Hamilton received a five -second penalty for her breach constantly in the final stages due to a few brakes.

Throughout the field, there was a long quarrel for the race for small points, as it was eventually secured in the ninth of the impressive Aleli Berman for Haas, and Carlos Science Lillams with a good effort from the back row from the network after he was excluded in qualifying the excessive rear wing in a marginal way.

This path was changed in 2013 when we lost Singapore Singane, which acquired many great drivers, and again in 2023 when we lost the section around a football runway at the end of the lap, which is now a site for some dangerous land reclamation. Both change increased the speed of the path and took two critical fields as many accidents occurred.

Nowadays here, we barely see the yellow flag, not to mention a safety car, and so it was again, along with the first 16 GPS system in Singapore have no retirement. I often think this grand prize race will benefit from the 260 km race such as Monaco instead of 305 km regular. But then a lot can happen in those past rolls as Lewis discovered.

In general, I thought it was a great event with unexpected results. Russell summarized this when he said that if he was asked to evaluate his chances of winning the GP award this year, Singapore was the last 24 in the list. Let’s see what Austin, Texas can serve.
