About this listen

Tom Clarkson is joined in the Marina Bay paddock by F1 correspondent Lawrence Barretto and Australian motor racing journalist Greg Rust to reflect on the Singapore Grand Prix.

McLaren have won the Constructors’ World Championship for the second year in a row, but the big talking point was the opening lap contact between their drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. Will that incident change how their title battle plays out in the final six races, especially now the team have wrapped up one title?

George Russell converted a stunning pole lap into his second win of the season with a dominant performance from lights out. As the wait for a new contract with Mercedes continues, why does Lawrence think Russell is in a similar situation to Carlos Sainz at Ferrari?

Behind George was Max Verstappen in P2. His wait for a win in Singapore goes on but he did secure a fourth podium in a row. Given Red Bull’s previous struggles at this track, has the team finally turned a corner with this year’s car? And if Max does get much closer in the title fight this year, will McLaren favour one of their drivers over the other to ensure they win a first Drivers' Championship since 2008?

Plus, the guys discuss another frustrating weekend for Ferrari and impressive drives from Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz and Ollie Bearman.
