Lando Norris could cause major problems at McLaren after hearing a reporter's comment about his crash with Oscar Piastri.

The Canadian Grand Prix ended in a disaster for McLaren as star driver collided with teammate Piastri late in the race causing him to retire from the race early.

As Norris closed in on his teammate who was currently running in P4, he appeared to get too eager to overtake and went for a very tight gap that forced him into the wall.

Immediately after the race, the Brit spoke with the media about the incident and admitted that it was completely his fault and that he would take full responsibility.

But a new clip from one of Norris' post-race interviews has emerged online, and it could cause some serious concerns at McLaren.

During Piastri's first interview after the race, Norris interrupted the Australian to apologise for causing the collision and putting both driver's race finishes in danger.

He said: "I'm sorry man, all my fault."

With Piastri seemingly unaffected by the collision, he was quick to accept his apology and shook his teammates hand before admitting that he was yet to watch the incident back.

However, in a later interview, Norris appeared to suggest that he may no longer feel this way as a journalist for French channel Canal+ admitted that he was surprised that the Brit had apologised as he felt it was a 50/50 challenge.

Replying to the claim, Norris said: "Well I thought it was my fault, maybe if I review it I'll have a different opinion."

If Norris were to watch the footage back and decide that he wasn't in the wrong, it could lead to a breakdown in the positive relationship between Norris and Piastri and cause a nightmare scenario at McLaren.

Since Piastri joined the team as Daniel Ricciardo's replacement back in 2022, McLaren team principal Zak Brown has been adamant that they will stick to their infamous strategy of two number one drivers.

So far, apart from incidents like the Hungarian Grand Prix last season, this strategy has caused relatively little drama but as the race for the 2025 title heats up, this could massively change.
