F1: McLaren To Review Piastri's Aggressive Overtake On Norris In Italian GP

Italian Grand Prix: Oscar Piastri’s audacious move on teammate Lando Norris in the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday raised eyebrows on the pit wall and prompted McLaren boss Zak Brown to promise a review of the incident.

After a stellar performance in qualifying, where Norris led a McLaren one-two, expectations were high for the Woking-based team. The race began according to plan, with both drivers holding their positions into the first corner. However, as they approached the second chicane, Piastri made a bold move around the outside of Norris, catching the Briton by surprise and forcing him off the racing line. This allowed Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to capitalise, taking second place and eventually going on to win the race with a strategic one-stop gamble.

"It was an aggressive move, but I have not spoken to them about that yet," Brown told Sky Sports F1. "The start was great and what we had discussed - to fan out - but I think Lando was probably caught by surprise with that move, so it is something we will discuss."
