Oscar Piastri furious with Lando Norris for risky overtake

Singapore result reduces championship lead to 22 points

The way in which McLaren manage Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, after the pair clashed again at the Singapore Grand Prix, is now crucial to avoid the drivers losing trust in the team’s approach on the title run-in, the team principal, Andrea Stella, has acknowledged.

The team will conduct an extensive review of their decision making during the race at the Marina Bay circuit where Norris barged into his teammate while overtaking him in the opening corners.

Norris had been deflected into his teammate when he clipped the back of the Red Bull of Max Verstappen as he dived up the inside of turn three on the opening lap. He went on to take the place and finished third in front of Piastri in fourth.
