Norris calls for errant Colapinto to be banned for causing Baku crash

World champion Lando Norris has called for Alpine's Franco Colapinto to face a race ban for causing the crash that removed him from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Norris, who was in the top ten, stated that his race was ruined by drivers who should not be in Formula One. Colapinto had apologized to Norris and his Alpine teammate Pierre Gasly after crashing into them on lap 35 during a restart following a Safety Car intervention.

Norris believes the governing body, the FIA, should be stricter and impose bans for such incidents, as they are a result of careless driving that doesn't deserve to be in the sport.
