The stewards took no further action after Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided in the Singapore Grand Prix Sprint. Motorsport.com quotes the stewards’ ruling: both drivers contributed to the collision, but neither was wholly or predominantly to blame.

The contact came on the final lap of the 20-lap Sprint, run in mixed conditions. Norris tried to pass Piastri on the inside at Turn 5 and struck the right-rear corner of his team-mate’s car, sending both into a spin. Piastri retired with significant rear-end damage; Norris continued and finished eighth.

Piastri told the stewards he had not expected the overtake and tried to leave space after turning in and seeing Norris on the inside. Norris said he saw an opportunity and expected room, saying his front axle was ahead of Piastri’s mirror before the apex.
