  "account": "Lando Norris has acknowledged that his collision with team-mate Oscar Piastri during the Singapore Grand Prix sprint race negatively impacted his team. The two cars crashed while Norris attempted to overtake Piastri on the final lap of the 20-lap contest. As a result, Norris dropped down to eighth place, while Piastri retired from the race. McLaren team principal Andrea Stella described the incident as \"not acceptable\" and announced that there would be discussions to prevent similar events from occurring. Norris expressed regret, stating that he does not wish to put the team before himself and that he will work to improve in the future. Despite the setback, Norris bounced back with a fourth-place finish in the main race, falling short of a podium finish. He acknowledged that the result was as good as they could achieve that day and expressed a desire to put up a better fight in future races.",
