Marina Bay Street Circuit, Friday, 3 October

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella, after Free Practice for the Singapore Grand Prix.

“A good first day. We’ve got lots of things to go over but I think it’s been a good start. The pace was solid, and I learned quite a lot, which was the main thing for today. It's all feeling pretty good at the moment, so I am excited to see what we can do tomorrow.” 

“A slightly tricky first day on track here in Singapore, not quite being able to find the feeling I had last year just yet. There are a few things we’ve got to work on, but it’s just about finding some more pace. We’ll look at that overnight and make sure we’re in the best possible position for tomorrow.” 

“A mixed first day on track in Singapore with multiple interruptions caused by Red Flags which created a number of challenges for the team, including a collision in the pitlane, which is obviously not ideal at this stage of the weekend. 

“Despite a second session that wasn’t straightforward, we managed to work through most of our run plan, but like the rest of the field, we are still short of laps to gain a broader understand of the optimal car setup and tyre behaviour this weekend. 

“As we have experienced across several race weekends this season, the competition is extremely tight with multiple teams challenging at the front of the grid. We will, therefore, continue to work hard overnight in order to maximise our running in Free Practice 3 ahead of Qualifying.”
