McLaren set to review team protocols after Norris and Piastri incidents at Monza
McLaren is set to review its internal approach after Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri went wheel-to-wheel at Monza. The same weekend, a qualifying plan for Piastri to run ahead of Norris and provide a tow was disrupted when Piastri locked a wheel at the first corner and aborted the lap.
At Monza, McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri went wheel-to-wheel, prompting the team to review its rules of engagement.
The Italian Grand Prix weekend also featured a disrupted qualifying plan involving the pair. McLaren had intended for Piastri to run ahead of Norris on track to give him a tow on the straight.
That plan unraveled when Piastri locked a wheel into the first corner, went over the asphalt run-off at the chicane, and aborted his lap. Motorsport.com also noted that some observers drew their own conclusions from the sequence, but Piastri rejected a sabotage theory.
