The title protagonists banged wheels at turn two as Norris barged ahead of Piastri into third, with the Australian complaining bitterly on the team radio.

During the race, McLaren opted not to intervene and the FIA found no fault with Norris’ move but, two weeks on, the team have decided the British driver was to blame and that action will be taken.

Both drivers and the team refused to specify what that action would be but it is understood there will be sporting consequences as the title battle takes another remarkable turn.

“Lando has taken responsibility for that,” Piastri said. “I think it’s quite clear for us as a team that how lap one unfolded wasn’t how we want to go racing.
