Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri made contact on the opening lap in Singapore, and the drivers were divided in opinion on it as the race unfolded.<\/p>\n
With that, we would like to ask for your opinion on whether or not the move was acceptable \u2013 and we have a poll further down this page where you can cast your vote, with results to be shared later this week.<\/p>\n
Have your say: Was Lando Norris\u2019 pass on Oscar Piastri fair?<\/p>\n
Norris moved down the inside of Piastri after getting a better launch off the line in Singapore, moving alongside his teammate through the sweep of Turn 2 and then the apex of Turn 3, but got too close to Max Verstappen in front in the process.<\/p>\n
The Briton appeared to have a snap of oversteer and hit Piastri, but both drivers were able to continue for the rest of the race \u2013 Norris bringing home third place with a piece of broken front wing, and Piastri following behind in fourth.<\/p>\n
The stewards briefly investigated the contact between the drivers and took no further action, though the Australian pleaded his case over team radio, believing he was \u201cbarged\u201d out of the way at Turn 3 and that his teammate\u2019s actions were \u201cnot fair\u201d.<\/p>\n
