Singapore Grand Prix: Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc collide in pits as Oscar Piastri fastest in Friday practice

Red Bull, who fought in Singapore for the last few seasons, felt a positive day.

Verstappen, the winner of the last two races in Monza and Baku, said, “The car wasn’t too bad, it’s a bit like the last two weekends. There was no big problem.

“I tried a few things, some were good and we need to try it a little more and we need to optimize it. In general, it is quite satisfied, but we definitely need a little more speed to fight tomorrow.”

The interrupted session meant that the drivers had no time to do racing simulation at the end, so no clear indication of the form did not emerge.

Alonso was fast on a track in Aston Martin where the car’s weakness was not exposed and always strong.

However, the team is expected to shift the field on Saturday.

Alonso said: “It looks a little better than the previous Grands Prim.

“We’ve been in a comfortable place since the first round and we’ve been able to find the boundaries very quickly.

“Let’s see that tomorrow in the third quarter and Sunday, we can not score and score. Both sessions in the first four probably the best Friday so far. But sometimes on Friday with a different program or different fuel, and real test tomorrow.”

His teammate Lance Street was followed by Spanish for the sixth sixth seconds, then HAAS driver Esteban Ocon, Williams’ Carlos Sainz and Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton Ferraris.

Leclerc said that his second session was scattered and accused the pit strip with “a combination of things” and “a little confusion”, but he said: “Good thing, speed in the car.”

Hamilton added: “It was usually a good day. I enjoyed driving the car.

“Obviously, McLaren is not easy to get a very fast and clean tour, but I feel very positive than today, I feel very happy with a lot of learning and sessions.

“Today we have taken steps forward, so we will probably not change too much overnight.
