Overview
- Oscar Piastri confirmed in Mexico that the consequences placed on Lando Norris have been removed and both drivers start the weekend on a clean slate.
- McLaren had previously assigned Norris a minor sporting consequence for the Singapore contact, a step Zak Brown acknowledged without detailing specifics.
- Reports suggested the now-scrapped measure might have involved qualifying or pit‑lane order priority for Piastri, but the team did not confirm that.
- Both McLarens retired from the Austin sprint after a Turn 1 clash, and Piastri said he bore a degree of responsibility for the incident.
- Piastri leads Norris by 14 points with Max Verstappen 40 back, sharpening debate over equal treatment versus backing one driver as the title fight tightens.
