Oscar Piastri has been left frustrated after colliding with McLaren teammate Lando Norris in the Singapore Grand Prix.
The two tangled over the opening corners as Norris forced his way through and overtook Piastri, who was forced to bail out and lose position.
Piastri, who was forced to give up his position in the Italian Grand Prix when Norris had a slow pitstop, was upset with his team not swapping the drivers around.
He said over the team's radio: “So are we cool with Lando just barging me out of the way or? What’s the go there?”
Piastri was told by his Race Engineer Tom Stallard, “We’re looking at it. Let me get back to you.”
The Aussie, who currently leads the championship, was then told there would be no further action from the stewards.

He snapped: “That's not fair. I'm sorry, that's not fair. If he has to avoid another car by crashing into his team-mate, then that's a pretty **** job of avoiding."
Norris picked up damage on his front wing but managed to hold on to his position in the early stages of the race around the Marina Bay Circuit.
