Lando Norris walks back ‘dangerous’ Oscar Piastri defence claim after Italian GP
Norris said the move looked worse from the cockpit after the McLaren teammates finished fourth and fifth in a late-race duel.
- On the penultimate lap of the Italian Grand Prix, Lando Norris was forced onto the grass by teammate Oscar Piastri at Monza, though Norris eventually overtook Piastri to finish fourth.
- Piastri defended hard against Norris in a race dependent on slipstream and energy deployment, with race engineer Tom Stallard instructing the Australian to keep it 'clean'.
- Norris initially complained on team radio that Piastri "pushed me off" and called it "very dangerous," but later retracted the claim as a comment made in the "heat of the moment."
- McLaren boss Andrea Stella played down the incident between his drivers, noting the cars were "on the same tyres, same time decay" and the episode appeared "much more benign" upon review.
- Formula 1 will enter new territory this weekend at the Spanish Grand Prix as the new Madrid circuit hosts a race for the first time, following the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in June.
