McLaren Formula 1 boss Zak Brown says Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will "not properly fall out" as their title fight comes to a head.

Brown, McLaren Racing's chief executive officer, said he expects the pair to "swap paint again at some point" after Norris ran into the back of Piastri in Canada in June.

But he added: "I don't think they'll properly fall out because of the communication, trust and respect we all have, and they have for each other.

"We're very fortunate to have the two personalities that we have. We love the challenge. I'm looking forward to them racing each other."
