F1 experts weigh in on what McLaren’s “repercussions” for Lando Norris might be.
Martin Brundle has suggested potential consequences for Lando Norris following the first-lap collision with teammate Oscar Piastri. Norris indicated he would face repercussions until the end of the season as a result of the incident in Singapore, where he finished third, just ahead of Piastri. The specific nature of the repercussions remains undisclosed by the McLaren drivers, creating speculation surrounding the team’s dynamics. Brundle commented that McLaren’s handling of the situation could impact their performance but commended their focus on racing without internal collisions. Former McLaren driver Jenson Button emphasized the unique opportunity for both drivers to compete for the championship and proposed that Piastri might have privileges like choosing the first pit stop. Brundle also expressed skepticism about McLaren’s strategy of having two alpha drivers, suggesting it is inherently prone to failure due to the intense competition within the team and on the wider grid.
