Oscar Piastri Expresses Frustration Over Lando Norris Collision at Singapore Grand Prix

News summary

During the Singapore Grand Prix, McLaren teammates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris collided on the first lap when Norris attempted an overtake, resulting in minor damage to Norris's car and Piastri being forced wide. Piastri expressed his frustration over team radio, questioning whether the team accepted Norris 'barging' him out of the way and criticizing the decision not to have Norris give the position back. The team and race stewards treated the incident as a racing incident, deciding against any penalties, which further annoyed Piastri. This clash adds to recent tensions between the two drivers, who are both competing closely in the F1 drivers' championship. Additionally, Piastri was irritated with Lewis Hamilton during the first practice session of the same race weekend, sarcastically commenting on Hamilton's slow pace and lack of awareness on track, which impacted Piastri's flying lap. Despite the intra-team conflict and practice frustrations, Piastri leads the championship standings, maintaining a significant points advantage over Norris and others.
