Handling the recent Norris-Piastri collision after Austin Sprint in the US GP
McLaren's management of the Drivers' Championship battle between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris faced criticism when the two drivers were involved in a collision during the United States Grand Prix Sprint, causing both to retire. This incident came after Norris had previously made contact with Piastri in Singapore. Despite Piastri leading Norris by 22 points in the standings, he attempted to overtake his teammate at the Circuit of The Americas, but ended up colliding with another car and ultimately crashing into Norris. The collision resulted in terminal damage for both McLaren cars. Max Verstappen went on to win for Red Bull, closing the points gap with Piastri and Norris. McLaren's leadership seemed to blame Nico Hulkenberg for the crash, shifting focus away from their own drivers. The team's handling of the situation has raised questions, with suggestions that they may need to reconsider the sanctions imposed on Norris following the Singapore incident.
