McLaren make embarrassing Norris U-Turn
McLaren have reversed their decision on Lando Norris’ ‘repercussions’ ahead of the Mexican Grand Prix, with Zak Brown revealing it was a minor sporting penalty for his move on team-mate Oscar Piastri at the Singapore GP.
The repercussions were speculated to be giving Piastri priority in qualifying until the end of the season, but this was not officially confirmed by McLaren.
After a collision between Norris and Piastri at the US GP sprint race, Max Verstappen has closed the championship gap to just 40 points behind Piastri, making him a strong contender for the 2025 title.
Piastri took responsibility for the incident, leading to the removal of Norris’ consequences, and both drivers starting the Mexican GP on a clean slate.
As Verstappen continues to perform well and McLaren fights to prevent a championship slip, all eyes are on the remaining rounds to see who will come out on top in the title race.
