McLaren is ahead of Red Bull in the Formula 1 constructors' race. Now for Lando Norris to put pressure on Max Verstappen for the drivers' title. Oscar Piastri's win last week at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix put McLaren top in the teams' standings — the key to F1's lavish prize money — but teammate Norris only took a small bite out of Verstappen's lead.

McLaren's Lando Norris set the pace in a floodlit second practice session at the Singapore Grand Prix on Friday with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc close behind but Red Bull's championship leader Max Verstappen only 15th.

Red Bull had led the standings for 55 consecutive races dating back to the Spanish Grand Prix in 2022. Red Bull led in the standings for the final 17 races of 2022, romped to last season’s title with a record points haul, and it led for the first 16 races of this season.
