Mercedes was back on top of the podium in Sunday’s (Oct. 5) Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix with George Russell claiming his and the team’s second win of the season.
Meanwhile, despite locking down the Constructor’s Championship, McLaren’s championship-feuding teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris bumped heads, or in this case wheels, once again as Max Verstappen finishes ahead of the papaya drivers.
Wyatt Watson and Tom Blackburn detail the headlines from Singapore and discuss the wave of drivers testing for different NTT IndyCar Series teams in the last few weeks.
