The Singapore Grand Prix wasn’t the most thrilling Formula 1 race this year, but there’s a lot to talk about. The media isn’t just focused on the title fight between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris; Verstappen’s protest against the FIA’s penalty is also a hot topic.
The Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport praised Max for his second-place finish despite never winning in Singapore. They highlighted his protest at the FIA press conference, where he gave one-word answers to show his displeasure with the penalty.
The Guardian’s Take:
British media admired Norris’ win, even though he almost crashed twice. The Guardian noted that these small mistakes could be crucial in his title chase against Verstappen. They also mentioned that Norris might face a similar community service penalty as Verstappen, calling it a pointless distraction in an exciting season.
Fans might think this is just adding unnecessary drama to the championship.
In Spain, Marca wrote about how Norris’ win boosts his title hopes but emphasized Max’s second place as crucial. They believe Red Bull will improve by the next race in Austin. They also pointed out some rookie mistakes by Norris when he was leading comfortably.
l’Equipe’s Perspective:
The French outlet l’Equipe hoped for an open championship but now sees another dominant driver replacing the old one. They expressed disappointment that instead of more excitement, we might just see another dominant force in Lando Norris taking over from Max Verstappen.
What do you think? Is this season more exciting or just full of unnecessary drama?
