Overview

• Team principal Andrea Stella said McLaren wants drivers to state their views clearly and will hold a post‑race review to see if any fine‑tuning of procedures is needed.
• The FIA took no action over Lando Norris’s lap‑one move on Oscar Piastri, and McLaren chose not to order a position swap during the race.
• Stella noted Norris clipped Max Verstappen and oversteered into Piastri, framing the Turn 3 contact as part of intense first‑lap racing.
• Piastri leads Norris by 22 points with six rounds remaining, and McLaren sealed the Constructors’ title in Singapore.
• Norris rejected claims of deliberate contact and backed the FIA’s call, while ex‑drivers and team figures criticized McLaren’s handling and questioned Piastri’s composure.
