Norris, a McLaren driver, called for Colapinto to be banned, stating \"Give him a ban. It's quite simple.\" Colapinto expressed regret over the incident, calling it a \"big mistake.\" Both Norris and race winner George Russell argued against a severe ban, believing it would be too harsh for a minor mistake.
