There is one topic you simply cannot avoid when talking about the Singapore Grand Prix weekend. On Saturday's sprint, Lando Norris committed one of the ultimate cardinal sins in motorsport: he crashed into his team-mate.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri
To make matters worse, it was on the final lap of the race. In a sprint. While battling for fourth and fifth place — and a grand total of one point.
There really wasn't much for Lando Norris to gain — other than satisfying his own ego in his duel with Oscar Piastri, an ego he shouldn’t even need to satisfy in 2026. The Briton is the reigning world champion and holds the upper hand over his team-mate in every sporting metric this season.
Yet something seemed to snap during this latest triple-header. The trouble is Lando Norris set himself up for a fall in Baku, and over the following two races, he plummeted right off that ledge.
After being wiped out of the race by Franco Colapinto during a safety car restart in Baku, the Макларен driver chose surprisingly harsh words. In his eyes, the Argentine’s lock-up was not worthy of Formula 1 — and called for a race ban for the Альпін driver.
