Martin Brundle reflects on Lando Norris' dominant victory at the Singapore Grand Prix, and gives his verdict on Max Verstappen's swearing row with the FIA.
It was another dominant victory by Lando Norris and McLaren, and reminiscent of his win back in Zandvoort. He controlled the pace and the race at will, lapping everybody up to Carlos Sainz in 7th. And Lando has certainly banished the demon of poor starts and failing to lead at the end of the first lap from his previous five pole positions.
It was the first time George has ever scored points in Singapore. McLaren would leave fifth-place starter Oscar Piastri on track until lap 38 before pitting him for new hard compound tyres. That's some 23 laps after Hamilton, and his pace was comfortably strong enough to pass cars and grab the final podium spot. His imperfect final lap in Q3 had spoiled his chances and cost him likely second place on the grid and in the race.
