Norris and Piastri clash, Verstappen closes in on title fight

See what Tim and Jim discussed about the latest happenings in Formula 1 following the conclusion of the Singapore Grand Prix here!

Norris and Piastri collided during the race under the Singapore sky. The pair, who were both aiming to record impressive results, made contact on the opening lap of the race.

Norris, who got the jump on his teammate, banged wheels with Piastri as they both approached Turn 3.

The incident left Piastri fuming on the radio to the team, while Norris, in handing his verdict on the clash, labelled it as “good racing.”

Max Verstappen also further closed in on the McLaren duo in the aftermath of the Singapore Grand Prix. The Red Bull Racing driver clinched a second-place finish ahead of both Piastri and Norris at the Marina Bay Circuit.

Verstappen, who entered the race off the back of consecutive victories in Monza and Azerbaijan, further reduced the gap to championship leader Piastri to 63 points.

The four-time world champion, alongside the Red Bull Racing outfit, appears to be on an upward trajectory– particularly following the start of the second half of the campaign. In the four races that have taken place since the Hungarian Grand Prix, Verstappen has recorded two race victories and two second-place finishes.

The Singapore Grand Prix, which was widely regarded as a bogey track for Verstappen and Red Bull, saw him secure a crucial P2, fending off Norris for a large portion of the Marina Bay race.

Despite not winning, Verstappen now sits 63 points behind Piastri and 41 behind his McLaren teammate Norris.
