Lando Norris, McLaren, Circuit of the Americas, 2025

McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown said the consequences Lando Norris faces for the collision between their cars in Singapore will be minor.

Norris revealed yesterday he will face “repercussions” for making contact with his team mate Oscar Piastri at the start of the last round in Singapore. Brown did not specify exactly what steps the team has decided to take but confirmed they will be “sporting” in nature.

Brown said the team took the view Norris did not intend to make contact with Piastri, but they want to discourage collisions between their cars.

“We review, of course, every race,” he told Sky. “Lando and Oscar had a little bit of a touch there.

“The start of the Formula 1 race is pretty manic, it was clearly not intentional. But we don’t want our cars touching so we laid out how we go racing at the start of the year.

“So [there will be] a little of a sporting repercussion in lieu of what happened. So we move forward, the drivers are comfortable and they’re free to race and looking forward to a big race weekend.”

He said the consequences for Norris will be mild. “It’s marginal,” he said, “it’s consistent with what happened – which was a racing incident, at the end of the day, at the start of a grand prix with a track that was somewhat damp.

“It’s wasn’t intentional, so [the repercussions will be] very marginal, it probably won’t be noticed. Lando and Oscar know what it is, which is what’s most important.

“Of course we want to be transparent with our fans. We are doing it the hard way, trying to let both guys race for the championship. The easy way out would be to have a one and two as some teams do, but that’s not how McLaren want to go racing.”
