Lando Norris, a British Formula 1 driver, voiced his frustration after a crash involving rival driver Franco Colapinto during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The incident happened on lap 30, when Colapinto attempted to overtake Pierre Gasly on the inside but locked his wheels, leading to a collision that eliminated all three drivers from the race. Gasly later criticized Colapinto over the team radio, expressing his disappointment with the move. Norris called for the FIA, the governing body of Formula 1, to suspend Colapinto, arguing that the organization should be "more strict" and impose race bans for such incidents. He described the crash as "careless" and suggested that "some drivers shouldn't be in Formula 1." In response, the FIA announced that Colapinto would receive a five-place penalty on the starting grid for the next race, which is being held in Malaysia instead of Bahrain due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Colapinto expressed regret for the incident, apologizing to his team, Gasly, and Norris. He attributed the crash to "cold brakes, cold tyres," and admitted he was "completely out of control." Norris' comments on Colapinto's ability to compete in Formula 1 were met with an apology from Colapinto, who said, "Sorry to Lando as well, to be honest, not only Pierre." The crash had financial repercussions for the Alpine team, which is competing closely for fifth place in the championship. It also affected Norris' position in the drivers' standings, moving him to fourth place, 13 points behind Sir Lewis Hamilton, with eight races still to be held in the season.
