Six Formula 1 races Before the end it is clear that McLaren defends the design title. At the night grand prix on Sunday in Singapore, which Mercedes pilot George Russell won ahead of Red Bull star Max Verstappen, places three and four from Lando Norris and Oscar Piatri were sufficient.
However, the mood was clouded by an incident shortly after the start, when a researcher Norris first stapped and then touched Piatri and thus passed on his teammate.

“If he has to avoid another car by collecting with his teammate, it was a damn bad alternative maneuver,” sparked a noticeably annoyed piatri on the box. Also because the Australian knew that there was hardly any overtaking opportunities on the tight city course. So it remained at the end of the first four. With this, Norris reduced the gap to PIISTRI World Cup leaders to 19 points.
The McLaren leadership does without a stable order for your pilots, but you have to stick to rules. They came into play in Monza, for example, when Norris had lost his position because of a slow pit stop on Piatri. The team instructed to let Norris pass again, obeyed Piatri. The latter will probably have thought of this yesterday, but another McLaren rule provides not to drive each other into the car.
Verstappen continued to well, but the deficit of the Dutch on Piatri is still considerable with 63 points. “That was the maximum that we could achieve here,” analyzed Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko.
