Flavio Briatore apologises to Lando Norris after Azerbaijan GP crash

Alpine executive Flavio Briatore has apologised to Lando Norris and McLaren following the collision that prematurely ended the 2025 Formula 1 champion's race in Baku.

The incident occurred during a safety car restart when Franco Colapinto lost control on cold tyres into Turn 1, colliding with team-mate Pierre Gasly. The impact pushed Gasly into Norris, ending the 2025 champion's race early. sportbet.rodeo

Briatore publicly acknowledged the error and offered his apologies to both Norris and McLaren.
