Several drivers, including McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, have been summoned to the FIA stewards after a dramatic Singapore GP Sprint Race which saw multiple other incidents.
The papaya duo have been summoned for 19:45 local time (12:45 UK / 13:45 CEST) after Norris made an unfortunate move on the inside of Turn 5 on the final lap. The reigning world champion was battling his teammate for P4, but dropped to P8 following the collision, while Piastri dropped out of the race entirely.
"I've not seen it properly," Piastri told Sky F1 post-Sprint. "From where I sit I'm not...it's for fourth and fifth for a Sprint race so I'm not that bothered either way. Just obviously it's a lot of work now for the team to get both cars fixed. Just a shame for the team."

After a 35-minute delay due to heavy rain, the Sprint saw a chaotic opening lap of racing action, with George Russell crashing out at the exit of Turn 19.
Further down the grid, Aston Martin's Lance Stroll and Cadillac's Sergio Perez had a coming together at Turn 16, and have each been summoned to the stewards over the incident.
Racing Bulls' Arvid Lindblad is also under scrutiny, following a spin under the Safety Car, 2026's sole rookie was seen driving in the opposite direction at Turn 5, and has consequently been summoned by the stewards. The young Briton was the last to cross the line in P13, after a chaotic Sprint saw a total of nine drivers retire.
Three more drivers have also been summoned for an incident under the Safety Car: Williams' Alex Albon, Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto, and Cadillac's Valtteri Bottas.
It is Albon alleged to have caused a collision with Bortoleto, but Bottas, who crashed into the back of the Williams driver has also been called up by the stewards.
