LANDO NORRIS SLAMMED BY GUENTHER STEINER FOR "NOT A WORLD CHAMPION MOVE"

Lando Norris clipped his own teammate on the final lap of the Singapore sprint, and Guenther Steiner isn't letting it slide. The reigning champion lunged down the inside of Oscar Piastri while both ran fourth and fifth, made contact, and spun them both. Piastri retired. Norris limped home eighth for a single point.

"This was not a world champion move," Steiner said on The Red Flags Podcast. The former Haas boss praised McLaren principal Andrea Stella for how he handled it internally—Norris initially defended the dive ("I have the right to do that"), then walked it back after the race. "I should never have attempted it in the first place," Norris admitted. "I let down the team."

The pair salvaged 22 points in Sunday's grand prix with a fourth and fifth, but the sprint collision exposed the tightrope McLaren walks when its drivers are racing each other. One more late-race tangle and Stella's patience runs out.
