Brown and Stella give verdict on Norris/Piastri contact

"A lot of racing to go, and hopefully some more victories for both of them."

The incident occurred as Norris put his car up the inside of Piastri into the Turn 3 left-hander on the first lap, the Briton making minor contact with Verstappen directly ahead and damaging his front wing that he would carry throughout the race.

At the same time, Norris drifted wide and made wheel-to-wheel contact with Piastri on the outside, forcing the Drivers' Championship leader to back off to avoid the wall and eventually slot in behind his team mate.

Piastri was left annoyed over the radio at the move and asked whether the positions would be reversed having given a position back to Norris during the Italian GP.

McLaren decided against this, with the stewards also taking no further action, but Brown admitted that it would be reviewed internally.

"I think like all race weekends you review everything," he told Sky Sports F1.

"First corner, looks like Max and Lando either touched or had to check up and so it was clearly an exciting Turn 3 incident. Racing, tough racing and you've got three, four cars all stacked up, that's going to happen every once in a while.

"So we'll look at it in more depth on Monday but clearly just hard racing."
