McLaren
Boxing radio Oscar Piatri
Piatri receives the feedback from his team at the radio: “As a team, we think that Lando had to react to avoid Verstappen. We will check the situation again after the race.” Piatri doesn’t really like this and breaks her anger again. For him, Norris did not stick to the rules. Seems like the mood in the World Cup fight.

Hülkenberg further eleventh
For Nico Hülkenberg, the first rounds did not go forward. It remains in eleventh place for the German. Colapinto, who was able to make up three places, was the best start.

Racing management caught incident
The race management also briefly looked into the incident between the two McLaren, but quickly ticked off the whole thing. In your opinion, it is a normal racing accident, as it can happen in particular at the start.

McLaren
Boxing radio Oscar Piatri
Piatri asks on the radio whether the team agrees that Norris has been in this way. Between the lines, he indicates whether it would not make sense to exchange the positions again due to the maneuver.

Start race
The traffic lights are over, the race in Singapore has started! George Russell gets a good start and Lando Norris also gets away really well! He takes third place in front of his teammate, even if it got really tight between the two. Verstappen remains second.
14:00
Introductory round
The cars embark on the introductory round. Everyone in the field has chosen Slicks because the majority of the route has already dried. Most pilots start on the medium. On soft are Verstappen, Hadjar, Alonso, Tsunoda, Stroll and Colapinto. Albon starts on the hard mix.
13:49
The weather
Before the start there was a rain shower in Singapore, which is why some sections of the route are still damp. Caution is therefore particularly required in the first rounds. The intermediate could also be an issue. The external conditions are tropical: the air temperature is around 30 degrees, the humidity is 78 percent.

Hülkenberg missed Top Ten Knapp
After Nico Hülkenberg always lost his rookie teammate in qualifying, the German was able to beat back yesterday and just missed the top ten as eleventh. The chance of points is more big today as it has not been for a long time.
13:38
Williams driver disqualified
There was bitter news after the qualifying for the Williams team: both Albon and Carlos Sainz were disqualified. The two ended the qualifying in the places twelve and thirteen, but lose these results after unsound technical controls. The reason for this was a rear wing that did not correspond to the regulations. Albon will start from the box today. Gasly also starts after changing parts from the pit lane.
13:32
The fight for the World Cup
In the World Cup, McLaren had recently shared after the dominance and thus enabled Verstappen to get back into the fight to get back to the driver’s World Cup. In qualifying, positions three and five jumped out for Oscar Piatri and Lando Norris, and you couldn’t really put the stamp on this weekend. Nevertheless, everything is condensed that the team can at least back up the designer title prematurely today. You still have to collect 13 points today.
13:29
Russell from the Pole
So far, 2025 was not based on the ideas of the Mercedes team. In Singapore, however, the team presented itself strongly and was able to look forward to the pole position thanks to George Russell yesterday. In the past races, racing pace was usually even better than the qualifying services, which should give the team additional self-confidence. But right next to Russell, Max Verstappen lurks one of the toughest opponents in the fight for victory. The Dutchman also has an invoice with the city course, because he has lacked a victory in Singapore.

Welcome!
The weekend in Singapore is heading towards its climax. At 2:00 p.m. the race will go!
