Several drivers are under investigation for incidents during the sprint race in Singapore, including McLaren teammates who crashed on the final lap. Lando Norris attempted to dive around the inside of Oscar Piastri in turn five. At that time, both were following Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari, which was in third place. The McLarens made contact at the apex of the corner. They both spun and Piastri hit the barrier on the outside. Norris was able to continue and finish in eighth place. “I’m sorry,” Norris told his team over the radio. “I obviously didn’t want that to happen, but I thought I was completely on the side. I just ran out of room at the top, but it was there.” Norris later defended his decision to attempt the pass where he did, insisting it was a viable move. “Of course,” he told Sky, “otherwise I wouldn’t have tried it.” Piastri downplayed the collision. “From my point of view, it’s fourth and fifth in a sprint race, so it doesn’t bother me in any way,” he said. “Obviously now it’s a lot of work for the team to fix both cars.” The stewardess is also investigating a collision between Sergio Pérez and Lance Stroll and another collision between Alexander Albon, Gabriel Bortoleto and Valtteri Bottas. Arvid Lindblad is also facing investigation for driving in the wrong direction after turning during the Safety Car period and Oliver Bearman is under investigation for driving unnecessarily slow.
