'Same as always': Oscar's free to battle with Lando

Oscar Piastri is adamant it's business as usual at McLaren, as he and teammate Lando Norris have the green light to go wheel-to-wheel against each other in the F1 title race despite their alarming collision at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Australia's championship leader also reckoned he wouldn't be pushing for any in-house preferential treatment over his nearest pursuer Norris with the friends and rivals set to go head-to-head again this weekend at the Austrian Grand Prix.

The Montreal race ended in near-calamity for both drivers as Norris ended up apologising for clipping Piastri's car before hitting the wall. The incident ended the Englishman's hopes of any points but the Melburnian held on to fourth place to extend his lead to 22 points.
