As usual, the Singapore circuit threw up its fair share of surprises because of its close walls that make it easy to make mistakes and leave no one immune. And indeed, already in Free Practice 1 there was the surprise of Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin dictating the pace.
In the afternoon, however, at least the first position regained a more familiar configuration with overall leader Oscar Piastri. Behind him, however, was not the other McLaren, but rather the Racing Bulls of a wild Isack Hadjar, gapped by less than a tenth and a half. Third place for the man who could be the Frenchman's next pit neighbor Max Verstappen, ahead of the bet driver in the morning, while Lando Norris had to settle for fifth.
It was precisely the Englishman who was the protagonist of a contact in the pit lane with the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, ninth at the end of the second session. And from this collision the MCL39 suffered a broken suspension, while the Monegasque was put under investigation for "unsafe pit stop release" .
Confirming Aston Martin's good form on the Marina Bay switchback circuit was Lance Stroll in sixth position, followed by Esteban Ocon (Haas) and the Williams of Carlos Sainz , back on the ball after the podium in Baku.
Lewis Hamilton, tenth nearly eight tenths from the top, did not shine, and like him the Mercedes drivers disappointed, with George Russell bringing out the red
flag and Andrea Antonelli, 18th, also not exempt from making mistakes.
