Kimi Antonelli racked up four track-limit violations in Singapore, flirting with a five-second penalty that would've jeopardized his third-place finish. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff wasn't amused—though he did have a solution. "I'm going to put a pillow from the hotel under his butt, so he can actually see the road," Wolff quipped. "I think he can't see it."
The championship leader escaped the penalty when officials ruled one breach came during a brake heat-soak issue that left Antonelli complaining of "no brakes" mid-race. The pedal went long after his pit stop, recovered once airflow cooled the system. Mercedes' Singapore upgrade didn't deliver the pace expected, but Antonelli kept his cool and protected a 16-second gap to Norris in fourth.
With George Russell's latest stumble, Antonelli now has an outside shot to wrap the title at Circuit of the Americas next week. Austin could crown a champion.
