Lando Norris denied unofficial F1 championship after breaking major rule

Lando Norris was denied the unofficial 2026 F1 Sprint championship after colliding with McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri at Turn 5 on the penultimate lap of the final Sprint race at Marina Bay, Singapore. The incident caused Norris to drop from fifth to eighth place, costing him three net points and leaving him on 33 points for the season. George Russell and Charles Leclerc both finished on 34 points, with Russell — who claimed three Sprint wins in 2026 — taking the unofficial Sprint championship title.
