Oscar Piastri has asserted he will not change his approach to
racing after clashing with Lando Norris at the Canadian Grand Prix.
The McLaren team-mates collided while battling for fourth place in
Montreal, resulting in Norris' retirement from the race. The Briton
immediately accepted responsibility for the collision, an effort
praised by team principal Andrea Stella. As the two continue to
race toward their maiden F1 title, Piastri asserted his approach
will not alter. "No, I don't think it will change anything," he
told RacingNews365 . "For me, I certainly won't do anything
different. "I won't behave any differently. If Lando is going to do
anything different, that's for him to answer. "I don't expect
anything to change. We've still got a long season ahead of us, so I
think it's going to be a tight battle for the rest of the year."
Piastri has denied that McLaren has implemented orders to stop them
racing one another following the crash. "No, [it's the] same as
always," he insisted. "Obviously what happened in Canada wasn't
ideal, but we're still free to race. "We're still fighting for a
championship each. So we'll keep going racing and make sure that we
don't come into contact again."
