How Norris shrugged off two touches with the wall to dominate in Singapore
The margin of Lando Norris' success on the streets of Singapore would lead to the conclusion the McLaren driver had everything easy behind the wheel. But two touches with the wall that could have ended in disaster showed it was anything but a relaxed Sunday drive
“No way!” When the highlights clips started to air in the cooldown room, Max Verstappen was amazed at Lando Norris’s luck in avoiding damage with a Turn 14 lock-up that resulted in the slightest contact with the barrier.
His surprise was accompanied by Norris and Oscar Piastri making the customary noise associated with watching someone navigate a tiny multi-storey car park in an SUV, as the Singapore Grand Prix race winner relived a squeaky-bum moment that yielded nothing more than barely cosmetic front wing damage.
