Norris Calls for Colapinto Suspension, but Driver Receives Only Grid Penalty After Causing Crash
World champion Lando Norris called for the suspension of Franco Colapinto after the Argentine driver caused a major crash at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix by braking too late on a restart. Colapinto collided with his Alpine teammate Pierre Gasly and Norris, eliminating all three cars and costing Alpine valuable constructor championship points. While Norris labeled the action reckless, race winner George Russell and second-place Max Verstappen defended Colapinto as having made an honest mistake due to cold tires. Colapinto received only a five-place grid penalty for the next race, despite prior threats from his fans against Gasly.
