Red Bull’s Max Verstappen dominated the Singapore Grand Prix weekend, winning the main race and the sprint.

His maximum total of 33 points from the event moved him up to fourth in the drivers’ standings.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc finished the race in second and championship leader Kimi Antonelli completed the podium.

After the last-lap incident in the sprint race in Singapore, are ‘papaya rules’ finally failing at McLaren, and with them the premise of running two number one drivers? – Alexandros

The crash between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the sprint race in Singapore left, in Norris’ words, “no-one very happy” at McLaren.

Norris went for a gap at Turn Five on the final lap. It was a legitimate move, in terms of the racing guidelines, but he tried to back out of it as he saw he was not being left sufficient space, and the two cars collided.

Both spun, Piastri into the barriers and retirement and Norris down from fifth place to eighth. What would have been nine points for the team from the sprint therefore became one.

There are two ways of looking at the move.

On a pure competitive level, between two rivals, Norris had the right to go for the move, and he complied with the driving-standards guidelines as to how far alongside he needed to be up to the point he started to back out.

But from a team perspective, it was all risk and no reward.

If Norris had pulled off the move, it would have meant one more point for him and one fewer for Piastri, but for the team collectively it would have made no difference.

What was interesting was that, despite having had initial talks with the team about it after the sprint, Norris was still pushing his point of view after qualifying.

“Really, it’s still my fault,” he said, “but I deserved to go for the space and I still believe I had the right for it.”

That raised a few eyebrows, but the truth is both drivers could have handled themselves better.

While there is an argument Norris should not have tried the move, there is an equally powerful one that, once he had, Piastri should have given him more space, and carried the fight down the following straight.

Team boss Andrea Stella was asked later that evening whether he was concerned about the message about team play not getting through to his drivers, and he dealt with it with his usual diplomacy.

Stella maintained his usual calm, even demeanour, but words like “unacceptable”, “disappointed” and “serious” made it abundantly clear how angry he was.

The following day, Norris had changed his tune. Not only did he offer to help out Piastri late in the race as the Australian was trying to pass Lewis Hamilton’s fading Ferrari, but he also finally took full responsibility for the incident.

“I can’t attempt what I did,” he said. “I should never have attempted it in the first place, even if the move was on. I’ve simply got to think more of the team that I represent rather than myself. It was a mistake on my part and I let down the team.”

Stella made it clear McLaren would not deviate from their policy of fairness and equal status between the drivers, even though he is well aware it will lead to issues such as this that test its limits from time to time.

“I classified it as unacceptable,” he said, “which is a statement that comes from the team principal, but I was very encouraged by the fact that it’s a statement that very rapidly came from our drivers as well.

“So we are aligned as to how we want to lead this team forward in a joint effort between the team and the drivers. The conversations that we are having, they are not finished, but it’s not because we need to go back discussing if Lando was alongside Oscar. That’s not the interesting bit.

“For me, the interesting bit is a reflection that all the stakeholders – the team, the drivers – will have to make around leading together the team, embracing constantly from inside the cockpit the interest of the team as something that is superior to any particular, singular, individual interest.

“And while the conversations from this point of view are not concluded, and there’s more we can do to become a more united and even stronger team, I’m pleased that Lando at some stage in the race adopted this way of thinking.

“This is what I expect as a team principal, this is what the 1,000 people that work at McLaren expect from our drivers.”

The Sky Sports Racing cameras head to Southwell, Hereford and Wolverhampton on Tuesday, with every race LIVE from 1.45pm.

6.00 Wolverhampton – Bella Angelina and Soft Landing clash

Unexposed duo Bella Angelina and Soft Landing clash in the Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Novice Stakes.

The Harry Charlton-trained Juddmonte filly Bella Angelina has run to a fair level on both of her starts thus far. She ran behind two promising three-year-olds to finish third at Doncaster on debut, before being edged out by the progressive Wootton Bassett filly Wid, after travelling strongly into the race without the hood. Related to promising two-year-old, Sierra Belle, she holds a great chance of progressing and breaking her maiden tag with the aid of a wind operation.

Her main danger could be in the form of Saeed bin Suroor trained Soft Landing, who is coming off the back of a very encouraging debut where she tired late to finish second after looking sure to have the race won. Bin Suroor tends to have his horses ready to go but at least a small bit of improvement can be expected given the way she shaped on her last start.

Missmisfortune reopposes Soft Landing here and has run to a fair standard in two starts but was well beaten with the advantage of experience at Wolverhampton.

Perhaps Mr Keble is the most intriguing of the rest, making his first start for Oli Rix having been transferred from the Gosden yard. He was hampered in the final furlong when fifth at Kempton in September and so was better than the bare result, with the subsequent St James’s Palace fifth ahead of him. He can run respectably if fit after over a year off the track.

Blue Point Gold is the only runner making their debut and contains an interesting pedigree, being a half-brother to the once potentially-useful Movie Maker.

2.35 Southwell – Cheesy Icon makes chasing debut

Progressive hurdler Cheesy Icon makes his chasing debut in the HEB Group “The Power Behind Everyday” Novices’ Handicap Chase.

Cheesy Icon could not quite get off the mark over hurdles, but was steadily progressive and an opening mark of 116 over fences does seem fair. However, he does not seem like the obvious type to take a massive step forward for going over a fence and is very much a free going type who has been hard to settle. As such, the forecasted weak pace could therefore put him at a disadvantage.

The Ben Pauling-trained Four Springs is the most unexposed in the field and began his career very promisingly, mixing with horses that have since featured in top-end handicaps and graded races – most notably Sinnatra. However, he ran as if something was amiss when pulled up in the EBF Handicap Hurdle at Sandown when last seen, and will need to put that performance behind him. This lad seems a chasing type and there could be a lot more to come over fences with his opening mark of 118 not beyond him.

Marche D’Aligre is prone to a mistake or two so it cannot be certain whether he will take to fences for the first time, whilst Jamada has been progressive over hurdles for Olly Murphy. Lady Kara should run well, given she is the only one in the field to have proven consistency over fences.

3.30 Hereford – Krak and Donnie Azoff head field

Krak and Donnie Azoff feature in a trappy Betting.Bet Free Bets Handicap Hurdle.

Krak gradually improved over fences over four starts since moving to Dan Skelton, while dropping down to a fairer handicap mark. He returns to hurdles here, where he has shown his best form and only career success to date. He can prove competitive off a mark of 120 with Charlie Todd taking the ride.

At the age of 10, Donnie Azoff has been in the form of his life, maintaining incredible consistency to only finish outside of the top three on three occasions in his last 11 starts. The two and a half miles should suit here, given he seemed outpaced in his last two starts. His last win in June came when running on late under a perfectly timed ride from Isabelle Ryder.

Sixty Plus is an interesting contender for the dual purpose trainer James Owen, as he is back to just a pound above his last winning mark. Moreover, he has fallen nine pounds in the handicap since his last win over obstacles. He can go well after a fruitful flat campaign, which included a quick-fire hat-trick.

Son Of Hypnos won well on his penultimate start when getting free on the front, before doing too much at the head of affairs last time. The forecasted strong pace may not see him to best effect, while Jaramillo got back to form last time out, although he is not the most reliable type.

Lando Norris says he let McLaren down and has taken responsibility for his collision with Oscar Piastri in the Sprint at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Norris and Piastri made contact on the last lap of Saturday’s shortened race when battling for fourth, which the stewards did not penalise either driver for.

However, McLaren team principal Andrea Stella labelled the incident as “not acceptable” while Norris was not keen to talk about the collision on Saturday and told Sky Sports F1: “As a team we all spoke about it. I apologised but that’s all you need to know.”

However, following his fourth-place finish in Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, Norris changed his tune when speaking to the written media.

“It’s pretty straightforward. I can’t attempt what I did. I should never have attempted in the first place, even if the move was on. I’ve got to think of the team that I represent more than myself,” he said.

“It was a mistake on my part, and I let down the team. I’ve also apologised to all of them, I owe them all an apology, and I will do better next time.”

Stella: Conversations with drivers not finished

During Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, Norris asked several times if he could aid team-mate Piastri in any way during the closing stages of the race.

Piastri was attempting to catch and overtake Lewis Hamilton at the time of the radio calls, suggesting Norris was querying whether he should back up the Ferrari driver. In the end, Piastri overtook Hamilton without any help to finish fifth behind Norris.

Stella says he was “very encouraged” by Norris’ willingness to aid his team-mate but more talks will be held before the United States Grand Prix in Austin next weekend.

“We are aligned as to how we want to lead this team forward in a joint effort between the team and the drivers,” he said.

“The conversations that we are having, they are not finished but it’s not because we need to go back discussing if Lando was alongside Oscar, that’s not the interesting bit.

“For me the interesting bit is a reflection that all the stakeholders, the team, the drivers will have to make around leading together the team, embracing constantly from inside the cockpit the interest of the team, as something that is superior to any particular singular individual interest.

“While the conversations from this point of view, they are not concluded and there’s more we can do to become a more united and even stronger team, I’m pleased that Lando at some stage in the race adopted this way of thinking.

“This is what I expect as a team principal, this is what the 1000 people that work at McLaren expect from our drivers so it’s good that we read this example. I expect definitely more of that in the future, independently of the fact that they will be heard in the radio, or they will happen behind the closed door in every meeting or in the way we approach our race plan.”
