Lando Norris has been given a 5s time penalty for causing a collision with his McLaren teammate.

Norris was attempting to overtake the Australian on the main straight. He attempted to move to the left but there was no space.

He said that he thought there might be space but realised too late that there was not and he collided with his teammate.

While Norris' car sustained damage and retired from the race (but was nonetheless classified in the results), Piastri's car was not damaged.

The stewards determined that Norris was solely to blame for the collision. However, because the collision had no immediate and obvious sporting consequence, they imposed a 5 second time post-race time penalty.

"@Editor, Simon - yes, sorry, my mistake. I didn't realize Norris was classified because he drove more than 90% distance. Then it's really no penalty.
In some degree logical for stewards - there is no sense in penalizing Norris for team internal crash, but also they don't want a precedent of this unpunished. "

"@Simpn: as I understand the rules, it should be applied next race in form of grid penalty."
