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.",
