Overview

• Stewards took no action over Lando Norris’s lap‑one pass on Oscar Piastri in Singapore, and McLaren declined a swap‑back despite Piastri’s radio complaint.
• Reports say members of Piastri’s camp met senior McLaren figures to clear the air without a resolution, with separate media speculation linking him to Ferrari for 2027 remaining unconfirmed.
• Team principal Andrea Stella says McLaren’s ‘papaya rules’ and approach will not change after clinching the constructors’ title, even as figures like Guenther Steiner call for prioritising Piastri.
• Norris and Piastri were called to Woking after Singapore and later appeared together for a united celebration of the team’s championship.
• With six rounds and three sprints remaining, Piastri leads Norris by 22 points and Max Verstappen has closed to 63 off the lead after two wins in the last three races.
