United States Grand Prix<\/a> about the impact of the incident going forward.<\/p>\n\u201cThings are reviewed, and there are and will be repercussions for me until the end of the season,\u201d the Briton explained. \u201cIt’s not like I’ve got away with anything, but it was also an incident that, let’s say, was small and there was potential to try and avoid it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s something I never want to… I said it after the race, I can’t afford to make contact and have anything happen like what happened, because I put just as much risk on my whole championship from something going wrong, as I do on whoever I might be racing against.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, repercussions for myself, but otherwise the engagement and how we go racing is the same as it’s always been.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Norris did not elaborate on the nature of the repercussions, Piastri stated that his team mate had \u201ctaken responsibility\u201d for the incident during discussions afterwards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the talks from Singapore were very productive with everyone involved,\u201d the Australian said. \u201cI think the conclusion was what happens in Singapore is not how we want to go racing as a team, and ultimately Lando has taken responsibility for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat’s in the past now, and the rules won’t change because of that. Ultimately, we’ve got that framework in place for a reason and there’s no reason for that to change now. It’s been dealt with, and now looking forward to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
In terms of why they did not want to share further details on the repercussions, Piastri added: \u201cUltimately we’ve got to race against nine other teams as well, 18 others, and we don’t want to give away anything that is sensitive to our team. I think it’s more than fair to keep that for ourselves, because we don’t want to give other teams an advantage on what it could be.\u201d<\/p>\n
And when reflecting on how the situation could unfold going forward, the 24-year-old said: \u201cI think we’re going to try and go racing as best as we can within what we think is acceptable as a team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat’s really all we can try and do, but I think in the race I wasn’t that happy with what happened. The team has decided that wasn’t an acceptable Lap 1 and we’ve dealt with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Piastri continues to lead the Drivers\u2019 Championship<\/a> by 22 points from Norris, with Verstappen 63 points away from the top in third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris has admitted that he will face \u201crepercussions\u201d until \u201cthe end of the season\u201d following his first-lap…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505710,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[4199,707,4200,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-505709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-f1","9":"tag-formula-1","10":"tag-formula1","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115387179891558823","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505709\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505710"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
