Oscar Piastri was ‘playing with fire’ in two corners during Singapore Grand Prix qualifying

Oscar Piastri will begin the Singapore Grand Prix from the third row, next to his teammate Lando Norris. Despite a solid qualifying performance, Piastri was cautioned about his risky driving, particularly at the exit of Turns 18 and 19, where he was said to be 'playing with fire'. This warning came after a collision between the two McLaren drivers in the sprint race, which cost the team eight points.

Max Verstappen secured pole position during qualifying, while Piastri's performance drew attention from commentator Alice Cooper, who highlighted the dangers of running wide on the bumpy track. With rain potentially affecting the race, Piastri is determined to avoid further mishaps and believes McLaren is competitive with Ferrari, setting the stage for an exciting race.
