via Motorsport WeekPierre Gasly questions F1 stewards’ consistency with McLaren crash digPierre Gasly expressed frustration over the lack of penalty for Lando Norris following a collision with teammate Oscar Piastri during the Singapore Sprint Race. Despite the incident causing both drivers to spin and lose positions, Norris was not penalised, which Gasly felt was inconsistent with previous decisions made by the stewards.
Gasly pointed out that penalties for inter-team collisions often vary, suggesting that teams sometimes avoid penalties by not appealing to the FIA. He referenced a recent incident involving Franco in Baku as an example of harsher penalties being applied. Gasly is set to compete in the main race after qualifying eighth, hoping to secure points.
