Oscar Piastri set the fastest time on Friday practice in Singapore, a 1m30.714s, leaving even his closest world championship rivals behind: Lando Norris finished fifth (+0.483s), while Max Verstappen took third place (+0.143s). The small gap for Red Bull is particularly surprising, as Singapore has traditionally been considered a bogey track for Verstappen.
A detailed look at the long-run data, however, is rather limited. Second practice was interrupted first by an accident involving Mercedes driver George Russell and later by Liam Lawson hitting the wall, which resulted in an extended red flag phase. What remained were only truncated long-run attempts and a few data points with heavy fuel from the already unrepresentative first practice.
