McLaren's Lando Norris defended his bold first lap lunge during the Singapore Grand Prix after he clipped his team-mate Oscar Piastri while taking third position.
After starting the race from fifth on the grid, Norris took the chance to gain two positions at the start. He tapped the back of Max Verstappen into Turn 3 and, as a result, collided with his team-mate. While the Australian driver made his feelings known to the team, McLaren opted not to intervene as the stewards deemed that no further action was required.
