George Russell calls for extra Lando Norris FIA punishment after Las Vegas GP outburst
Mercedes F1 driver George Russell humorously called for punishment for Lando Norris at the Las Vegas Grand Prix before Norris was disqualified. Norris initially finished second but was later disqualified along with team-mate Oscar Piastri for excessive skid wear. This kept the gap between the two at 24 points, with Max Verstappen now also just 24 points behind Norris after his Las Vegas GP win. Russell moved up to second place, with team-mate Kimi Antonelli claiming third, a strong showing for Mercedes in their bid for second in the constructors’ standings. Norris may face a fine for using an expletive on live air post-race, similar to past fines handed to drivers like Verstappen and Leclerc. The FIA’s regulations on swearing indicate that unnecessary swearing could result in a fine, so Norris may expect further punishment before the upcoming Qatar GP.
