McLaren have confirmed how they are going to deal with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri following their clash at the Singapore Grand Prix.

With just six race weekends left in the 2025 Formula One calendar, tensions around the Drivers Championship title are higher than ever.

McLaren drivers Piastri and Norris remain the firm favourites to compete for the 2025 title, while reigning champion Max Verstappen holds on outside chance.

Having secured the 2025 Constructor's championship in Singapore, despite a controversial incident on the first lap, the McLaren teammates will presumably now be free to race as fiercely as they like in the final weekends of the season.

But it appears that the Woking-based team aren't prepared to move past their driver's clash in Singapore, as team principal Andrea Stella has conformed their plans to deal with the moment.

In an effort to recover from a disappointing performance in qualifying on Saturday, Norris made an aggressive attack from fifth place when the race began on Sunday, catch up with Piastri who started the race in third.

As he got past the Australian, Norris made contact with both Verstappen and his into Turn 3, leading to Piastri coming onto his team radio to complain about the move.

Despite getting involved in several on-track incidents throughout the season, McLaren decided not to take any action during the race.

But speaking post-race, team principal Stella confirmed that they would be launching a formal review into the incident before deciding on any further action.

He said: “The review needs to be very detailed, very analytical. And it needs to take into account the point of view of our two drivers.

“We will form a common opinion and we will see whether it confirms our initial interpretation – or if there is something else that we should compute. We need to be accurate, because there is a lot at stake.

“Not only the championship points, but the trust of our drivers and the way we operate as a team. When you are racing as a team, you cannot have exactly the same interests for the two drivers – because they want to pursue their aspirations.

“We want to protect this ‘let them race’ concept. And we know as soon as you adopt this concept you face difficulties.”
