Following a collision at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, McLaren driver Lando Norris has launched a scathing critique of Alpine driver Franco Colapinto, asserting that certain drivers do not belong in Formula One and calling for a race ban. The incident occurred when a shunt forced Norris to retire from the race while running in eighth place, significantly denting his championship title hopes and also taking out Pierre Gasly.

In response to the crash, race authorities issued Colapinto a grid drop penalty for the upcoming round in Malaysia. However, Norris's public reaction went further, demanding more severe repercussions and questioning the competitor's qualifications to race at the highest level of motorsport.
