00:00It slides out and away we go, that's an excellent start from George Russell and Max Verstappen's not covering him up and he's trying to fend off Oscar Piastri in the turn one, Verstappen ahead of Piastri, Norris then battling away with his teammate and championship rival and he's got the inside line as he forces Piastri wide and Lando Norris has managed to get through and he's made up two places from the start, George Russell leads here from Max Verstappen, great start from Lando Norris, then comes Piastri and that looks like Charles Leclerc in the Ferrari
00:29Kimi Antonelli losing places, Lando Norris, I had contact, he said keep an eye on everything, it was a slight contact, we'll get another look at that Lando Norris front wing in a couple of moments, you can see it there, just sticking out at an angle it shouldn't be and that's going to be affecting his aero balance but will he have to come in and change that front wing, will the FIA decide it needs to happen?
00:51Yeah, I mean, I wasn't very team-like but sure
00:54Oscar less impressed than Lando above those opening corners
01:00So are we cool with Lando disparaging me out of the way or what's the go there?
01:05So we're looking at it, let me get back to you
01:07So basically the question is, are you going to let me back through there?
01:10It was an excellent start from George Russell who continues to lead this race in Verstappen, soon under pressure from Piastri and Norris got a brilliant launch ahead of Antonelli
01:19Yeah, but Piastri was busy trying to watch Verstappen and that is when Norris pounced and that's where they had a little touch, luckily for them, wheel to wheel
01:27Left-hand side of the grid is definitely a poorer place to be and you could see all of the left-hand side of the grid struggling a little bit
01:35And Piastri will be on the outside of us now, Max looking in his mirrors because he's got a lot of awareness in those situations
01:44And Charles Leclerc getting a much better start in his Ferrari too
01:48And then gets ahead of Antonelli, a little bit of double compact there for Antonelli and Leclerc
01:55And yeah, a bit of stock car racing
01:58And off they go
02:00And now let's go on board with Isaac Hadjar, watch Oli Behrman on the right-hand side and watch to the left as well
02:06Because he gets sandwiched right at the start here, there's Behrman in the Haas and then there's contact and Behrman has to bail out and go on the runoff area
02:14And that's how Oli Behrman lost a place to Isaac Hadjar and that has been noted by the stewards but nothing decided
02:20That I think is what Oskar Piastri is complaining about, it's that, it's more than a love tap isn't it, that was a I'm coming through tap
02:27It was just no further action from the stewards as a team, we can see Lando has to avoid the staff
02:32So we won't take any action during the race, we can review further afterwards
02:35Mate, that's not fair, I'm sorry, that's not fair
02:38Oskar will have the opportunity to review together afterwards, focus on this race mate, he's still as good as not here
02:45Yeah, but if he has to avoid another car by crashing into his team mate, then that's a pretty good job of avoiding
02:50Any change there with the downshift match? Otherwise he's gone
02:53No, it's really
02:54OK, understood
02:55And the downshift's not exactly impressing Max Verstappen, that's not the first time we've heard that this season
03:00So well I've got up and down into turn one, people coming in from all directions
03:06And he just got pinced, didn't he?
03:09He did, I think it was contact with Stroll in the Aston Martin
03:13But he had to move over to avoid the Alpine a bit
03:16Yeah, there's all sorts of sensors and pressure, pressure sensors and what have you in those front wings, it's hugely complex
03:24Is this where Lando Norris hit the wall, turn 17? Yes it was
03:29It's a glance
03:30Well it always looks kind of OK, doesn't it?
03:32And then when we see it here, it always looks harder, but I think that's alright
03:37It's a scraping glance of the wall
03:40Understood, he just understeered into the wall, you could see the front tyre scrubbing across the racetrack
03:46And obviously there's a tyre offset between Leclerc and the Sauber, but he needs to get an overtake done here at the end of this long straight or he's going to get held up
03:54He should breeze past this car
03:57Um, and Alkenberg's
03:59Oh no, he's not fighting it that much, he does breeze past it
04:02Yeah
04:03OK, so free to push now
04:05Well, I'm driving, but everything is working against me in this race
04:09This is Lewis Hamilton's pit stop, we saw that it was a little bit slow
04:14Great view that he would have had, and that right tyre eventually going on
04:21The gap to Oscar is 4.7, he's going to have to pit soon to cover Leclerc
04:25Are you willing to let Leclerc pit, sorry, let Oscar pit the lap before you?
04:30Yep
04:31Er, no, I would not
04:34I was about to say, I was surprised I heard a yes there
04:37That's what he said yes, what he said, no I will not
04:39He said yes, er, no
04:41Er, this is, this is Monza all over again
04:43No problem at Aston Martin for Fernando Alonso
04:46The wheel just won't engage on the nut to tighten it up
04:50And if it was a, well, I'll say another 4 seconds stationary for Fernando Alonso
04:54That's just sent him tumbling out of the points after running a super first in of this race
05:00Let's have a look at it
05:01Don is marked, he's in the middle
05:06Yeah, it's that left rear
05:08Yeah
05:09And, er, what's going on down here?
05:15A little bit of, er, Dan Deer overtaking by Oli Beerman on Alex Albon
05:20Like that, right hand down to keep it straight
05:2234 to go
05:24If you speak to me every lap I will disconnect already
05:27Max has had a bit of a drama somewhere
05:30I'm going to assume he's locked his front tyres up going in here
05:33Oh, yeah
05:34And, er, er, very much like Lando Norris did last year
05:38Oh, that's just giving, er, Russell some breathing space
05:44This is Fernando Alonso and Isaac Hadjar
05:47And Hadjar staying ahead of Fernando Alonso but only just because Alonso's coming back at him
05:54And he's got onto the marbles a bit there
05:56Has the, er, racing balls
05:57He's got the engine issue of course
05:59And that's allowed Alonso to get back at him
06:01And under braking, Hadjar manages to keep Alonso at bay
06:05A different point of view, DRS down the bit straight
06:08Here he goes
06:09Steaming round the outside
06:10But somehow Hadjar keeps making the apex
06:13I'll tell you what, there's a young man called Will Mack
06:15Will McIntyre is going to be really enjoying that in all of this racing
06:19GB3 racer as Alonso manages to get past
06:22Oh, here we go, this is the replay then
06:24Of Lando getting deep in and then having to rescue it on the exit
06:28Yeah, you see, it's a, like last year
06:32These little couple of mistakes during the course of this race
06:36For Lando Norwich
06:37Coming up behind that massive squabble we were just looking at
06:41That is a lock up and a half
06:43Ooh, a rattle of fillings out of his teeth
06:45The part where he doesn't have any, does he?
06:47I wouldn't imagine, Alex Albon
06:49There's more smoke there on the track than on stage
06:52And Iron Maiden encore
06:53This is Yuki Tsunoda behind
06:55Golopinto, that could have been
06:58That could have wiped both of them out of this race
07:00And that could have been Tsunoda losing a bit of front wing again
07:04I wonder if that, it did make contact with his front wing
07:07Golopinto then goes off
07:08And Tsunoda skips through
07:11Guy's getting desperate out there, isn't it?
07:15We can see again another lock up
07:18As the Alpine of Golopinto disappeared off there
07:21Did he actually leave a car's width
07:23At that final corner
07:25And that is where we lost a bit of front wing end plate
07:28And it's come off the Salva
07:30On board now with Hulkenberg
07:32As he sense it under brake
07:34Ooh, did he hit the wall?
07:35No, he locked the rear axle on downshift
07:41Went into anti-stall which was good
07:42Yeah, heavy braking and then just lost an aero
07:46I'd imagine he had to suddenly brake a bit harder as well
07:49And it's nice and neatly down the runoff area
07:52On board with Lando Norris
07:55Oof!
07:56Well that was a bit close, wasn't it?
07:57I tell you what, he knows he can trust Max
07:59Yeah
08:00There's very few drivers you could trust with that
08:02Kind of half move really
08:04Hamilton is really, really struggling
08:06And that's where they swapped it around
08:08At Ferrari for Lewis to get past Charles Leclerc
08:12And then we saw that puff of brake dust, didn't we?
08:15Yeah
08:16And this is where I think his brakes have completely gone
08:19Yeah, you can see, look the sparks
08:21Coming on that front left brake
08:23Yeah
08:24As he tried to apply it
08:26Wow
08:27Make that now, six different winners in the last six runnings of the Singapore Grand Prix
08:31For the first time ever here, he'll stand on the podium on the top step
08:35George Russell wins the Singapore Grand Prix
08:38And what a victory that was for him
08:40Max Verstappen settles for second place
08:43Holds off Lando Norris
08:45Who barged through and passed his teammate Oscar Piastri on the first lap
08:49McLaren finished third and fourth
08:51And McLaren are Constructors' Champions in 2025 for the second year running
08:59Yes mate
