兰多·诺里斯承认他需要做出“更好的决定”，迈凯伦希望为他与队友奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里在新加坡的冲突画上句号。
诺里斯在新加坡冲刺赛中为争夺第四名而猛冲，结果把自己和皮亚斯特里都撞出了局，招致车队管理层的不满，这让车队在锦标赛中损失了宝贵的积分，也违背了车队的比赛原则。
车队领队安德烈亚·斯特拉在新加坡站赛后表示，车队将在其沃金工厂举行进一步会谈，以避免类似事件重演。据了解，这些会谈已于上周进行，车队现在希望尽快翻过这一页，因为诺里斯已为自己的判断失误道歉。
车队在美国大奖赛前瞻中引用了诺里斯的话：“我为自己的错误承担责任，并从中吸取教训。这支车队是我每个周末的动力，我的目标是通过进步、做出更好的决策，以及以尽可能最好的方式代表车队，来回报大家付出的辛勤努力。”
诺里斯与队友的冲突，让本就艰难的三连赛雪上加霜，因为迈凯伦对红牛为赛车带来的显著性能升级毫无应对之策，这导致马克斯·维斯塔潘在马来西亚和新加坡背靠背夺冠。
斯特拉补充道：“在经历了艰难的三连赛之后，我们吸取了在表现和执行两方面的经验教训，并将其付诸行动。在F1中，成功从来不是理所当然的——所以我们的回应是继续建设、继续研发，并作为一个团队共同向前推进。”

表现平平后，迈凯伦带来最新一轮升级
迈凯伦也为MCL40带来了自己的升级，尽管它在马来西亚因缺乏表现而困惑，新加坡进一步凸显出，虽然其自身升级似乎按预期奏效，但它只是被红牛在研发上超越了，同时法拉利在新加坡高下压力的街道赛道上也极其强劲，梅赛德斯也为自己的赛车增添了性能。
迈凯伦将在本周末奥斯汀的比赛中为赛车带来最新一轮相对较小的升级，主要集中在前部，希望美洲赛道能比巴库和新加坡等赛道更适合这辆赛车。车队还做了进一步微调，让车手在刹车时更有信心。
首席设计师罗布·马歇尔表示：“我们为本站带来了一套适度的升级，旨在改善一些制动可靠性和性能问题。我们还有一些小的底板改动需要测试。”
“过去五六场比赛中，大家都看到了预测顶级车队相对表现有多难。显然，这里有很多因素在起作用：赛车升级、赛车适配性以及车手对某些赛道的偏好等。最近几场比赛对我们来说不太理想，但我认为我们正在重新变强，奥斯汀可能是更适合我们赛车的赛道。”

McLaren held fresh talks after Singapore GP clash as Lando Norris promises to "make better decisions"
McLaren has held further talks on Lando Norris' Singapore Grand Prix sprint race clash with Oscar Piastri as the team now considers the matter case closed

Lando Norris has conceded he needs to make "better decisions" as McLaren aims to draw a line under his clash with team-mate Oscar Piastri in Singapore.
Norris drew the ire of his team management for taking out both himself and Piastri with a lunge for fourth place in the Singapore sprint race, costing the team valuable points in the championship and going against its racing principles.
Team principal Andrea Stella said after the Singapore race that the team would hold further talks at its Woking factory to avoid a repeat. It is understood those talks happened last week, and that the team is now keen to move on from the incident as Norris apologised for his error of judgement.
“I take responsibility for my mistakes, and I learn from them," Norris was quoted in the team's United States Grand Prix preview. "This team is my motivation every weekend, and my aim is to repay the hard work everyone puts in by improving, making better decisions, and representing the team in the best possible way.”
Norris's clash with his team-mate added to what had been a tough triple-header as McLaren had no answer for the significant performance upgrades Red Bull was able to add to its car, leading to back-to-back wins for Max Verstappen in Malaysia and Singapore.
"After a difficult triple-header, we take the lessons learned from both our performance and execution and put them into action," Stella added. "In F1, success is never guaranteed – so our response is to keep building, keep developing, and keep pushing forward together as one team."

McLaren brings latest round of upgrades after performance falls flat
McLaren had brought its own upgrades to the MCL40 too, and while it was left confused by its lack of performance in Malaysia, Singapore further underlined that while its own upgrades appear to work as intended, it had simply been out-developed by Red Bull, while Ferrari was also extremely strong on the high-downforce Singapore street circuit and Mercedes has also added performance to its car.
McLaren is now bringing its latest round of relatively minor upgrades to the car at this weekend's race in Austin, largely focused on the front of the car, as it hopes the Circuit of the Americas will suit the car better than the likes of Baku and Singapore did. It has also applied further tweaks to make its drivers feel more confident under braking.
"We’re bringing a modest selection of upgrades for this event, aimed at improving some braking reliability and performance issues," said chief designer Rob Marshall. "We also have some small floor changes to test.
"We have all seen how difficult it is to predict the relative performance of the top teams over the last five or six races. Obviously, there are many factors in play here: cars being upgraded, cars suiting and drivers liking certain circuits among other factors. The last few races have not been great for us, but I think we’re getting stronger again and Austin is probably a better circuit for our car."
