F1 Singapore GP LIVE: Practice schedule and FP2 results as George Russell crashes

A pretty good day then for Lando Norris - 2nd in FP1, 1st in FP2!

His main competitor looks to be Charles Leclerc, who in this session was just 0.058 secs off the McLaren in P2!

Carlos Sainz, like FP1, is third-fastest - with Yuki Tsunoda an impressive fourth for RB. Daniel Ricciardo is sixth!

5-10: Piastri, Ricciardo, Russell, Perez, Albon, Hulkenberg

Max Verstappen has been told to “accomplish some work of public interest” in an odd ruling by the stewards after swearing during Thursday’s FIA press conference in Singapore.

The Red Bull driver, who leads this year’s world championship by 59 points to Lando Norris, has not won in seven races and struggled last week in Azerbaijan.

When asked about his car in Baku, Verstappen replied that he knew “the car was f*****” and was warned about his language by the moderator.

After being called to see the stewards on Friday, with a meeting lasting around 15 minutes, the decision reached by the stewards was an “obligation to accomplish some work of public interest.”

McLaren told to modify ‘mini-DRS’ rear-wing after Red Bull appeal

F1’s governing body has told McLaren to modify its “mini-DRS” rear-wing after an appeal from Red Bull.

Full story below:

The Mercedes is in the wall!

It doesn’t look like a massive shunt and Russell has managed to reverse out of the wall and will continue around the circuit.

Looks like some extensive damage on the front wing and nose!

“I’m in the wall. Snatched the front right.”

With nearly all of the drivers on race-runs, Verstappen will stay in P15 - 1.294 secs off his championship rival Lando Norris in first!

Wow! Sergio Perez is in the top-10 for Red Bull, in P8.

Both Piastri and Norris have got close to the wall in the last 10 minutes or so, but no lasting damage on their McLaren cars.

Five minutes left in FP2.

“There’s still something wrong with the brakes.”

The Spaniard had issues with his brakes in first practice, too.

15 minutes to go as we head to some race-runs now...

When told of his position, Hamilton replies: “That’s unbelievable mate.”

George Russell not much better in P7.

20 mins to go.

Top-10: Noris, Leclerc, Sainz, Tsunoda, Piastri, Ricciardo, Russell, Perez, Albon, Hulkenberg

Verstappen down in P15!
