The Racing Whine — The week in F1 YouTube

“Colopinto got a 10 second time penalty for causing a collision. That's turned into a five place grid drop for the next race”

The Race, at 1:10 of “What next for the F1 driver Lando Norris wants banned” on The Race’s channel.

Around it

  1. 0:58 So quite an extreme reaction from Lando. It was a bit of a lone voice, I think, in terms of that extreme punishment.
  2. 1:04 And I wonder if he will tone it down when he reviews it in a week. But certainly right now, he was the strongest on it.
  3. 1:10 Well, clearly the stewards didn't agree. Colopinto got a 10 second time penalty for causing a collision.
  4. 1:15 That's turned into a five place grid drop for the next race because obviously he didn't finish.
  5. 1:19 Such was the damage to his car. No license penalty points because those aren't really a thing anymore.
  6. 1:25 So you could argue Colopinto has got off lightly. A ban would have been heavy-handed.
