周日的新加坡大奖赛上,乔治·拉塞尔(George Russell)全程领跑,轻松摆脱身后激烈的名次争夺,赢得本赛季个人第二场胜利。
在争夺领奖台的选手中,迈凯伦车队的兰多·诺里斯和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里表现抢眼,他们斩获了足够的积分,确保这支英国车队提前六站锁定本赛季车队总冠军头衔。
最终,诺里斯获得第三名,皮亚斯特里位列第四,而红牛车队的马克斯·维斯塔潘成功抵挡住他们的挑战,夺得亚军。
尽管车队总冠军已尘埃落定,但车手总冠军之争——目前由皮亚斯特里领跑,其队友诺里斯落后22分——仍充满悬念。
两位车手在新加坡大奖赛开赛时发生碰撞,其竞争的激烈程度似乎并未因任何团队忠诚的概念而减弱。
皮亚斯特里从第三位发车,领先队友诺里斯两个位置。诺里斯起步出色,接连超越排名第四的基米·安东内利,并顺势超过皮亚斯特里,但代价是与队友发生擦碰,导致自己的前翼受损。
皮亚斯特里在车队无线电中抱怨道:“我是说,这不太像团队合作,不过随便吧。”
诺里斯在赛后采访中淡化了这一事件,表示“赛道非常滑,很多地方都很湿。”
“这是赛车,我把它放在内侧,稍微调整了一下,就这样。”他补充道。
与比赛中明显流露的沮丧情绪相比,皮亚斯特里在赛后给出了更为克制的回应,表示需要先观看比赛回放再发表评论。
“显然这是一场艰难的比赛,开局第一圈就很困难,”他说道,“我不认为当时有任何碰撞的意图,但碰撞确实发生了。我需要回看录像,确认具体发生了什么。”
比赛伊始皮亚斯特里便落后于对手,随后首次进站时又在维修区耽搁了五秒,这彻底断送了他挑战诺里斯等领跑车手的希望。
在他们前方,拉塞尔稳步建立起可观的优势,而位居第二的维斯塔潘则与赛车操控苦苦缠斗,抱怨车辆难以驾驭。
尽管如此,维斯塔潘在困境中仍与拉塞尔保持触手可及的距离,而诺里斯则悄然逼近其后。
当比赛进入最后10圈时,诺里斯终于逼近维斯塔潘并施加压力,虽一度嗅到超车机会,但这位荷兰车手最终仍成功守住位置。
George Russell led the Singapore Grand Prix from start to finish on Sunday, taking his second win of the season by coasting clear of the frantic competition for places behind him.
Among those battling for the podium were the McLaren pair of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri who secured enough points to ensure that the British team sealed this years constructors championship, even with six races remaining.
Eventually, Norris finished third and Piastri finished fourth while Red Bulls Max Verstappen fended off their challenge to take second place.
Although the constructors championship is now settled, the drivers championship C currently led by Piastri with Norris 22 points behind his teammate C still remains very much alive.
And the ferocity of their competition was seemingly undimmed by any notion of team loyalty, as the two drivers clashed at the start of the Singapore Grand Prix.
Piastri started in third place on the grid, two places ahead of Norris who started well, passing Kimi Antonelli in fourth and slipping past Piastri too, but at the cost of clipping his teammate and damaging his own front wing.
I mean, that wasnt very teamlike but sure, grumbled Piastri on the team radio.
Norris downplayed the incident in his post-race interview, saying it was slippery, so wet in a lot of places.
Its racing, I put it on the inside, had a little correction and yeah, thats it, he added.
Piastri too offered a more measured response afterward than his visible frustration during the race, saying he needed to watch the replay before saying anything.
Obviously a difficult race, a difficult first lap, he said. I dont think there was any intention of contact, but there was, and I need to look at the replay and see what exactly happened.
After losing ground at the start, Piastri then suffered a five-second delay in the pits as he boxed for the first time in the race, effectively ending his hopes of challenging the leaders, including Norris.
Ahead of them, Russell steadily built a healthy lead as Verstappen grappled with his car in second place, complaining about it being difficult to drive.
Still, despite his difficulties, Verstappen remained within touching distance of Russell even as Norris crept up behind him.
And as the race entered its final 10 laps, Norris finally got close enough to put pressure on Verstappen, sensing the opportunity to overtake though the Dutch driver ultimately found enough to fend him off.
