It was George Russell and Mercedes all the way in Singapore - thanks to the brilliance of that combination around the Marina Bay circuit and also to a decision by Red Bull to start Max Verstappen on soft Pirelli tires. In trouble with tyre degradation long before the medium-compound runners around him were due to stop, Verstappen thereafter spent the bulk of the race in stunning defense on his older, hard-compound Pirellis. He finished a diamond-hard P2, though, ahead of the two McLaren drivers and Russell's young team-mate, Kimi Antonelli. There was controversy at McLaren as, first, Lando Norris collided with both Verstappen and the other McLaren driver, Oscar Piastri, at the first corner sequence and then, later, when Norris was asked to make a decision about when Piastri should stop to switch from medium tires to hard. In this video Peter talks about all of this plus the other key elements of a dramatic evening.

Lots of post-Singapore chat here, ranging from the gloves-off moments between Oscar and Lando; the perils of Vogue; Red Bull's decision to start Max on Pirelli softs; and the very underwhelming evening for Ferrari. So charge up the ear pods, order the capuccini and enjoy.

In the wake of a frenetic weekend of sport - Max at the "Ring, Jos in Belgium, Alpine in Japan, Europe at Bethpage Black - we join Peter live on YouTube as we look ahead to this weekend's Singapore GP, round 18 of this year's mammoth 24-race championship. The night race could be close, particularly if Ferrari keep it on the straight and narrow. McLaren-Mercedes drivers, Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, are still a long way ahead in the points table...but the new floor on the Red Bull RB21-Honda is working well; and Mercedes, who, ran strongly at Baku, should also be very quick. And then there is the powerhouse that is Max Verstappen - fresh from that GT3 win (in a Ferrari!) at the Nürburgring long circuit. We talked about all this and more - including the direct relevance of Ryder Cup team-play with F1 - in this, our latest livestream.
