McLaren’s Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were under investigation after colliding on the final lap of the Singapore sprint race, an incident that sent both cars spinning and briefly overshadowed a strong showing for the team. Norris tried to dive inside Piastri at Turn 5 while they were running behind Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari, and the McLaren cars made contact at the apex. Piastri hit the outside barrier, while Norris continued and finished eighth. Norris apologized over the radio after the crash, later said he thought the move was viable and added that he had no excuse. Piastri said he was not overly bothered because the clash only affected fourth and fifth place in a sprint.

Raul Fernandez says Marco Bezzecchi pushed him off kerb in Mandalika sprint crash
Raul Fernandez blasted Marco Bezzecchi as “unprofessional” after the two Aprilia riders crashed out of the MotoGP Indonesia sprint at Mandalika, saying Bezzecchi pushed him off the kerb under braking in the first braking zone of the opening lap. Fernandez said they had agreed before the sprint not to get in each other’s way because both had strong pace, and that the contact sent both riders into the gravel and allowed two Ducatis to pass them.
Fernandez, who had earned his maiden MotoGP pole earlier Saturday and started the sprint from pole position, said Bezzecchi “absolutely clattered” him. He said he suffered a fractured finger and a swollen hand, injuries that put his participation in the Grand Prix in doubt.
Fernandez was declared fit to ride and planned to try the warm-up before Sunday’s race. The FIM stewards ruled the incident a racing incident.
