REVEALED - Lando Norris' repercussions for his Singapore GP incident with Oscar Piastri:
My bit with Oscar is in this week's mag - with a tenuous comparison to a tennis great.
Buy it at whatever WHSmith is called now, or your local newsagents (and feel free to put the other copies on the front row of the newsstands)

I might be overthinking this but I genuinely don't know how to refer to Monaco's hairpin in copy. I think we need an arbitration board to decide if it's Station, Loews, Fairmont, Grand Hotel, Leclerc Corner, or Tighty Lefty Roundy-Round.
