F1 Singapore GP LIVE: Race schedule, stream, times and updates as Lando Norris leads from pole

In comes the Aussie then, and he comes out in fifth - on new hard tyres and just one second behind Lewis Hamilton, who came in about 25 laps ago!

So... how many places can Piastri make up? Can he get past Russell and Hamilton ahead of him, and maybe even Verstappen?

As you were then, with Norris 22 seconds ahead of Verstappen in second.

Top-10: Norris, Verstappen, Russell, Hamilton, Piastri, Sainz, Alonso, Leclerc, Hulkenberg, Perez

A rapid 2.2 second stop for the Ferrari and Leclerc gets out ahead of Nico Hulkenberg, dropping from fourth to eighth.

Piastri: “It’s getting very tricky now.”

Surely only a matter of time before McLaren get their man in?

Out in front, Lando Norris is 13 seconds clear of Piastri, who in turn is nine seconds ahead of Max Verstappen.

“I just don’t get it, why did we let him undercut us by so far, it’s so stupid!”

That was Verstappen’s reaction to coming out behind Leclerc, but what he doesn’t know is that it’s not really for track position - given Leclerc hasn’t pitted!

So, current top-10: Norris, Piastri (not pitted), Verstappen, Leclerc (not pitted), Russell, Hamilton, Tsunoda, Sainz, Alonso, Hulkenberg

Norris pits and they opt not to change the front wing, obviously any damage isn’t significant! Incidentally, replays of what happened shows Norris having a close shave with the wall at turn 14, just avoiding significant contact! A lucky escape!

He comes back out in first place, three seconds ahead of his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri!

Verstappen, meanwhile, is 18 seconds behind Piastri.

When will the Aussie pit then? He’s the only one left of the original top-five yet to pit...

Verstappen comes in then, switches to hards with a three second stop!

Norris, meanwhile, saying he has front wing damage. He has enough of a lead for the time required (about 12 seconds) to change wings!

Verstappen comes out just behind Charles Leclerc in fourth, it was very tight on pit exit!

When will Lando respond then?

Verstappen: “Rears are struggling now.”

Engineer: “Shouldn’t be too long now.”

Running his own race at the moment is Verstappen - 23 seconds behind Norris but 12 seconds ahead of Oscar Piastri, with George Russell pitting from third!

Hamilton not happy with this strategy... insisting he has too many laps to complete on the hard tyre!

He makes a move on Tsunoda but breaks too late! “Something is wrong with this car.”

Currently down in P10.

“Ah this is so frustrating.”

Leclerc in seventh is stuck behind Alonso and Hulkenberg, with nowhere appropriate to overtake!

Top-10: Norris, Verstappen, Russell, Piastri, Hulkenberg, Alonso, Leclerc, Colapinto, Perez, Tsunoda

Hamilton: “I think I clipped the wall on pit entry, check my left.”

Hamilton just surging through the field from 12th right now, but he has of course pitted!

As for Norris, he’s still flying out in front with a 15-second lead to Max Verstappen now!

Williams statement: “We have had to retire Alex’s car from the Singapore GP due to a suspected PU / cooling issue.

“This will be investigated further post race.”
