After talks involving Norris, Andrea Stella and Zak Brown, Piastri said McLaren had handled the fallout appropriately. Norris said the matter was settled and apologised for his mistake.
Oscar Piastri said he was satisfied with how McLaren handled the fallout from his collision with Lando Norris in the Singapore Grand Prix Sprint. After discussions involving both drivers, team principal Andrea Stella and CEO Zak Brown, Piastri said the matter had been dealt with appropriately and that they were ready to race again.
The collision came on the penultimate lap, when Norris tried to pass Piastri on the inside for fourth. Piastri spun into the barriers and was out of the Sprint; Norris recovered to eighth and scored one point.
Norris also described the matter as settled. He said he had always understood what could and could not be done, saw nothing that needed clarifying, and admitted that he had made a mistake and apologised.
The collision cost McLaren seven points and left the team just seven ahead of Red Bull in the fight for third in the constructors’ championship.
