Lando Norris will face internal "repercussions" at McLaren for the rest of the F1 season after initiating contact between himself and team-mate Oscar Piastri.
On media day at the Circuit of the Americas, the British driver took responsibility for the incident on the opening lap of the Singapore Grand Prix, calling it "fair" that he be held "accountable" for his actions.
He also confirmed there would be consequences as well, but neither he nor Piastri would go into detail on the specifics of what that might entail.
Karun Chandok was less than impressed, arguing the Woking-based squad had "exploded" a quiet media day at the United States Grand Prix.
Meanwhile, Sky Sports F1 colleague David Croft questioned whether those measures would be sporting.
With six rounds — and three sprints — remaining this season, only 22 points separate Norris and Piastri. The F1 drivers' championship is, therefore, likely to go down to the wire, unlike the constructors' title, which McLaren wrapped up at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

David Croft and Karun Chandhok on Lando Norris' repercussions
Sky Sports F1’s David Croft: "What could be the repercussions?
"Strategy? Does Oscar now get a preferred strategy? Is that one answer? It can’t be a fine, that’s not going to make any difference at all."
Sky Sports F1’s Karun Chandhok: "Honestly, I’m confused by all of it. Why say something like that if you’re not going to tell the full story?
“All you've done is take a relatively quiet Thursday and exploded it. But I don’t think they’d do a sporting repercussion that will actually hamper Lando’s chances to score points."
