AUSTIN – Formula One title rivals and McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris spoke on Thursday of the “consequences” and “repercussions” resulting from a Singapore Grand Prix clash, without saying what they might be.
Norris charged up the inside of Piastri on the opening lap of that race, clipping the back of Max Verstappen’s Red Bull and forcing Piastri so wide the angry Australian almost hit the wall.
Norris finished third, with Piastri fourth, and the pair are now separated by 22 points with six rounds remaining. McLaren have already secured the constructors’ title for the second year in a row.
Speaking to reporters separately ahead of this week’s US Grand Prix in Austin, both drivers said the matter had been addressed and dealt with.
“Things were reviewed and there are and will be repercussions for me until the end of the season, so it’s not like I’ve got away with anything,” Norris said.
“Repercussions for myself but otherwise the engagement and how we go racing is the same as it’s always been.”
Piastri, who has been beaten by Norris in the last three races, said the discussions had been very productive.
“The incident we had in Singapore isn’t how we want to go racing,” said the Australian. “Lando’s taken responsibility for that.
