Lando Norris says he has apologized to Franco Colapinto after criticizing “some drivers” in Formula 1. Norris made the comments after Colapinto caused a multicar collision during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix over the weekend. On Instagram, Norris admitted he was wrong and said emotions were high. Colapinto braked too late, hitting his teammate Pierre Gasly, which led to Norris crashing. Colapinto apologized and received a 10-second penalty.

Norris later said he and Colapinto remain friends and are eager to race in Malaysia. Norris is now 116 points behind standings leader Kimi Antonelli.
