1997 Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve discussed the intra-team battle between McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, claiming that the recent repercussions are "like two kids being punished in the corner of their room".
After an incident at the start of the Singapore Grand Prix, in which Norris made a lunging move to take third position from Piastri that resulted in contact between the two, the British driver faced team-imposed repercussions 'until the end of the season'. But after another clash saw both Piastri and Norris out of the United States sprint race, Piastri has now confirmed that those repercussions have been scrapped.
