McLaren to Review Internal Protocols After Norris-Piastri Collision in Singapore Sprint

In a dramatic conclusion to the wet 20-lap Singapore sprint, McLaren teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri collided on the final lap at Turn 5.

Norris attempted an inside overtake but was unable to back out of the closing gap, resulting in contact with Piastri's right-rear corner.

The incident caused both cars to spin, with Piastri's MCL40 suffering severe rear damage, eliminating him from the race.

Norris managed to continue but dropped to eighth place by the finish.

The stewards summoned the drivers for a review of the incident.

McLaren has described the collision as 'simply not acceptable' and confirmed that internal discussions will take place to address the matter and prevent future occurrences.

This incident highlights the challenges of intra-team competition under high-pressure conditions, especially in adverse weather.
