Andrea Stella: Singapore F1 sprint collision between Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri "simply not acceptable"

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has declared a final-lap collision between drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the Singapore Grand Prix sprint race to be "simply not acceptable," emphasizing that team interests supersede individual egos. The incident occurred during a wet 20-lap sprint when Norris made an inside lunge on Piastri at Turn 5.

Unable to successfully back out of a closing gap, Norris struck the right-rear corner of his teammate's car. The resulting tangle sent both McLaren vehicles into a spin and led directly to Piastri's elimination from the race.
