F1 podium finishers reject Norris’s Colapinto ban call

Colapinto locked up at Turn 1 during a Safety Car restart, hit Pierre Gasly, and eliminated Norris’s McLaren. Stewards judged him “wholly or predominantly to blame” and converted his 10-second penalty into a five-place grid drop. Russell cited cold tires and brakes; Verstappen said a ban was excessive after Colapinto apologized.
