Oscar Piastri topped a chaotic second practice at the Singapore Grand Prix as McLaren team-mate Lando Norris was hit by Charles Leclerc in the pit lane.
The session was disrupted by two long red flags after crashes for George Russell and Liam Lawson which led to desperation for the teams to get onto the track, which caused Norris and Leclerc’s bizarre incident which is under investigation.
Norris’ car was damaged but McLaren were able to fix it for the British driver to complete a qualifying simulation where he was fifth but 0.483s behind pace-setter Piastri, who leads Norris by 25 points in the Drivers’ Championship.

Rookie Isack Hadjar continued to impress with second on his first Singapore outing with Max Verstappen in third, just 0.143s off Piastri.
Fernando Alonso was quickest in first practice and showed strong pace again by finishing in fourth, but the messy session makes it hard to get a true read of the pecking order ahead of final practice on Saturday at 10.30am and qualifying at 2pm, live on Sky Sports F1.
The Ferraris of Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were ninth and 10th, but the latter’s best lap came on the mediums.
