Norris and Piastri collide on final lap of Singapore Sprint
McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided on the final lap of the Singapore Sprint on October 10, 2026, with Piastri retiring and Norris finishing eighth. The incident at Turn 5 was reported as set to be investigated by stewards; no ruling or penalty is included in the available reports. Norris attempted to pass on the inside as the pair approached the corner. The contact ended Piastri’s race, while Norris crossed the line in the final points-paying position. The collision followed a race in which both McLaren drivers had been running in the points, with Piastri ahead of Norris. One account said the drivers were summoned to the stewards after the incident. It also said Norris’s front axle was not level with Piastri’s at the apex, a detail connected to driving guidelines. The supplied coverage does not establish what the stewards concluded, so any sporting consequences remain unknown. The collision came a day after the teammates qualified fourth and fifth for the Sprint, with Piastri ahead. Piastri said the soft tyres improved the car’s feel after he had struggled on the medium compound, and that fourth place was about the best McLaren could achieve.
