Stella said McLaren would discuss the last-lap collision with both drivers privately and stressed that the team’s interests came first. Norris said he and Piastri had already spoken.
Andrea Stella told Sky F1 that McLaren would discuss Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri’s final-lap Singapore Sprint collision with both drivers in private. He called the contact unacceptable and stressed that the team’s interests came before any individual.
Norris and Piastri were running fourth and fifth when Norris went for a pass at Turn 5 on Saturday’s final lap. Both spun; Piastri hit the wall and retired, while Norris recovered to finish eighth.
Norris said he and Piastri had already spoken after the Sprint. Neither was happy with the outcome, he said, and both had things they could have done better.
The stewards investigated the collision and took no further action. Their report said both drivers had contributed, but neither was wholly or predominantly to blame.
