Norris says Colapinto should be banned after accident

Lando Norris has voiced fierce frustration following the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where a multi-car collision forced him out of the race alongside Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto. The incident occurred during a restart when Colapinto lost control after locking his brakes, slamming into Gasly who subsequently crashed into Norris.

All three vehicles suffered terminal damage, prompting Norris to argue that the governing body needs to impose stricter penalties for reckless driving on restarts.

Norris specifically advocated for race bans to be handed down for such careless errors, pointing to the expensive destruction of his own equipment and the unfair elimination of innocent competitors. Colapinto admitted fault for the mishap, describing the incident as a major mistake resulting from a locked tire and a complete loss of control.
