Norris clears the air after McLaren repercussion U-turn

Sharing his thoughts during his media interaction at the Mexico City Grand Prix, Norris reflected on being granted relief and how it feels to race without any lingering disadvantage.

“From now on, I'm just looking ahead for the rest of the season. We're going forward, it's always about moving forward," He said.

The British driver was hit with internal repercussions by the McLaren team for his move on teammate Oscar Piastri during the opening lap Singapore Grand Prix. However, these consequences were lifted following the race at the Circuit of the Americas.

Norris is currently locked in a three-way title fight with Piastri and Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen, with 40 points separating the pair.

Earlier, Piastri revealed Norris’ repercussions had been dropped following the collision involving the pair at the United States Grand Prix. The Australian noted both drivers head into the race weekend in Mexico with a clean slate.

Piastri also admitted that he bore some degree of responsibility for the collision in the Sprint at the US Grand Prix.

In that race at the Circuit of the Americas, Piastri was involved in a spiralling collision with Nico Hulkenberg, which took out several drivers on the opening lap, including Norris and Fernando Alonso.
