Oscar Piastri's reaction to Max Verstappen appearing to fire a dig at Lando Norris after qualifying at the Singapore Grand Prix has been spotted by F1 fans.

The Marina Bay Circuit will host the latest round of the F1 World Championship as the season approaches its business end.

McLaren are on the verge of recording back-to-back Constructors' Championships today, providing they are not outscored by 31 points by Mercedes and 35 by Ferrari.

Though the team competition is nearly wrapped up, it is far from the case for the Drivers' Championship.

Piastri has a lead of 25 points over McLaren team-mate Norris, while Verstappen is a more distant 69 points behind the Australian but has closed the gap after successive race wins.

The grid is set for this afternoon's race, which takes place at night around Singapore.

Mercedes driver George Russell is on pole for the Grand Prix, with Verstappen alongside him on the front row and Piastri starting third.

Kimi Antonelli will start fourth ahead of Norris, with the Ferrari pair of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc lining up sixth and seventh respectively.

Despite starting on the front row and in a promising position, Verstappen was clearly not happy with Norris after qualifying after the Dutchman felt the McLaren driver cost him the chance of pole position due to driving slowly back into the pit lane.

Speaking via Red Bull’s team radio, Verstappen's race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase said 'You can thank your mate for that', seemingly referring to Norris who had caused the Dutchman to abort his final flying lap.

Asked about the error, Verstappen said: "Yeah, that's what happens when there is a car just cruising two seconds in front. So that's noted, will be remembered."

And when asked who it was, Verstappen said 'not Oscar' in a clear reference to Piastri's team-mate Norris.

Both Piastri and Russell were alongside Verstappen as he made the comment and both appeared to laugh at it.

Norris himself has dismissed the comment and said in response that Red Bull 'always complain about everything'.

But F1 fans on social media clocked that Piastri appeared to laugh at Verstappen having a dig at his team-mate and main title rival.

One fan wrote: "Oscar’s reaction??? He’s just like me. I also like it when Max throws shade."

Another posted: "Oscar's villain arc is going well."

One fan gave the view: "Max is gonna be Oscar best teammate for the rest of the season."

And another fan said: "Oscar with the little laugh."
