Lando Norris after Baku crash: Some drivers 'shouldn't be in F1'
BAKU: An early exit from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Saturday left a sour taste in Lando Norris’ mouth, leading the McLaren driver to call for Franco Colapinto to be banned for the next race for an incident that took out both Norris and Colapinto’s Alpine teammate, Pierre Gasly.
Lando Norris expressed his discontent following a crash during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, stating that some drivers shouldn't be in Formula 1. The incident occurred when Colapianto's car crashed into Norris and Pierre Gasly's Alpine teammate during an early restart, resulting in Norris' early exit from the race. Norris blamed himself for the crash, admitting he struggled and dropped down the order, but also criticized the driver for causing the collision, saying, "some drivers that shouldn't be in Formula 1 to be honest."
The FIA should consider stricter measures, such as a one-race ban, for drivers who cause crashes on restarts, according to Norris. Colapinto received a 10-second time penalty and a five-place grid penalty for the next race in Malaysia, expressing remorse for the mistake.
