Lando Norris' successful start from pole at the Singapore Grand Prix appears to have dispelled his first-lap curse, although McLaren boss Andrea Stella says there was no clear issue after analysis.
Norris lost the lead from pole position at the Spanish, Hungarian, and Dutch grands prix, preceded by his first corner off during the China sprint race. And, although he kept the lead into the first corner at the Italian Grand Prix, Norris was manoeuvred away from the lead by team-mate Oscar Piastri at Turn 4.
