McLaren’s Zak Brown won’t be drawn on ‘repercussions’ for Norris
Yesterday, Lando Norris alluded to ‘repercussions’ for his first-lap contact with team-mate Oscar Piastri at Singapore – but neither he nor Piastri would explain what they were.
In the team principals’ press conference, CEO Zak Brown was not going to elaborate on them either.
Brown on the ‘repercussions’ for Norris: “That’s private business between us. I know everyone’s interested to know, but both drivers are in a great place and, you know, we just want to set them up to continue to be able to race each other hard.
“We’re racing against nine other teams. I don’t think you want to necessarily show your hand on how you go motor racing, so we try and be as transparent as possible, but there’s a reason why engineering debriefs are only with teams.
“Otherwise, you start inviting other teams in, so I think that’s the best we can do. We try and be as transparent as possible in saying that some action has been taken, so I think that’s been very transparent, but at the end of the day, we’re at a sporting event, and we can’t necessarily tell everyone everything.”
