Piastri was sitting in fourth place with Norris right behind him, but disaster struck for McLaren when the British driver tried to shoot through a gap that wasn't there. Norris clipped his teammate and then collided with the wall, ending his race as a safety car was deployed.

As George Russell delivered a faultless drive to win from pole position ahead of Red Bull rival Max Verstappen, Norris banged into the back of Piastri as they duelled for fourth place with three laps to go. Norris attempted to pass Piastri across the start-finish line but he misjudged the move and hit his team-mate's car.
