Norris says he apologised to Colapinto after Baku backlash

Lando Norris said he apologised to Franco Colapinto after his comments about last weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix led to an online backlash. Norris had blamed Colapinto for a pile-up in Baku and called for the Argentinian driver to receive a race ban.

Norris later said he reached out publicly because he felt he had gone too far and wanted to calm the situation. He also said the reaction on social media escalated beyond acceptable limits, including death threats, and called for more respect and humility.
