Colapinto handed 10-second penalty for crash which took out team mate and Norris | Formula 1

Franco Colapinto was handed a 10-second penalty by the stewards following a crash during the Safety Car restart at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The incident involved Colapinto colliding with his team mate Pierre Gasly, who then hit McLaren's Lando Norris, resulting in the elimination of three drivers from the race.

As Colapinto did not finish the race, the stewards have the option to convert his penalty into a grid drop for the next event. According to the FIA's 2026 penalty guidelines, a 10-second penalty is the baseline for causing a collision, although there are provisions for mitigating circumstances that could lessen the penalty.
