"Lando has taken responsibility for that, Piastri said. I think it's quite clear for us as a team that how lap one unfolded wasn't how we want to go racing. I don't think you can really say what would have been fair to do in the race, but ultimately the responsibility has been put on Lando afterwards. I would say I'm not expecting it to be redressed on track any time or every time, but ultimately we know how we're expected to go racing and if we don't, there's consequences for that."
"The team held me accountable for what happened, which I think is fair, Norris said. Then we made progress from there on and understanding what the repercussions were for myself. There was contact between two McLaren cars. Zak [Brown, CEO] and Andrea [Stella, team principal] don't want that to happen. And I think as teammates, we don't want that to happen. Of course, that's the reason for why I was held accountable. There are consequences. He added to Sky"
McLaren held Lando Norris responsible for the first-lap collision with Oscar Piastri at the Singapore Grand Prix and stated that action would follow. The FIA found no fault with Norris' move during the race, but the team nonetheless assigned responsibility to Norris and indicated sporting consequences. Both drivers and the team declined to specify the exact nature of the penalties. The incident resulted from Norris barging ahead into third at turn two, producing contact between two McLaren cars and a heated radio exchange. Team leadership emphasized that inter-team contact is unacceptable and that teammates must avoid such incidents.
