How McLaren must handle Norris after his Canada crash

F1 TV pundit James Hinchcliffe offers an insider's view on handling teammate incidents, drawing parallels to the recent Lando Norris-Oscar Piastri clash at the Canadian GP. He highlights two golden rules: avoiding on-track contact and prioritizing team interests. Hinchcliffe recounts varied team principal approaches, from gentle reminders to stern warnings, and even silent treatment, all aimed at preventing costly collisions. For McLaren, managing two ambitious young drivers like Norris and Piastri, especially with a title-contending car, presents a complex challenge. Hinchcliffe stresses the critical need for balanced, neutral, and clear communication from team leadership to maintain harmony and focus, deeming McLaren's next few months crucial for long-term stability.
