McLaren's rising star Lando Norris has dropped a bombshell revelation, suggesting he's facing internal consequences after a dramatic on-track collision with teammate Oscar Piastri during last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix.
Marina Bay Mayhem
The incident occurred during Sunday's night race under the dazzling lights of Marina Bay, when the two British team drivers made contact while battling for position. The clash proved costly for the Woking-based outfit, potentially compromising valuable championship points in their tight midfield battle.
Norris Breaks Silence
In a candid post-race admission, Norris revealed: "There are things that will remain behind closed doors." The 24-year-old Brit added, "There are things that will probably come from it, but I'm not going to say." His cryptic comments suggest team principal Andrea Stella has taken action following the intra-team incident.
Piastri's Perspective
Australian teammate Piastri, while acknowledging the racing incident, expressed his frustration at the outcome. "It's obviously a shame," the young driver commented, highlighting the missed opportunity for the team to maximise their points haul from the challenging street circuit.
Team Dynamics Under Scrutiny
The Singapore incident raises questions about McLaren's driver management strategy as both Norris and Piastri continue to establish themselves as future championship contenders. The team now faces the delicate task of maintaining harmony between their two talented drivers while keeping them competitive.
With the Formula 1 calendar moving to Japan this weekend, all eyes will be on how the McLaren duo navigates their relationship following the Singapore controversy. The team's handling of this situation could prove crucial in their battle for constructor championship position as the season enters its final stages.
