McLaren driver Lando Norris was carelessly impeded by Alpine’s Pierre Gasly during the Free Practice 2 session of the Azerbaijan GP. Norris is currently in pursuit of securing his first-ever drivers’ championship this year.
Lando Norris has been one of the most consistent drivers throughout the 2024 campaign. Despite his strong form, the 24-year-old has won only twice this year. The Brit has failed to be clinical during the crucial moments of a race, which has been a major reason for his lack of wins.
In Baku, Norris was visibly upset with Pierre Gasly, who was unaware of him approaching quite fast during the flying lap. Gasly has not been in good form with Alpine, securing only eight points in 16 races this campaign.

Norris claims that the MCL38 felt a bit difficult to drive compared to its lofty standards this year. The 24-year-old then urged his team to find the right balance to deliver better performances during qualifying at Baku.
McLaren trails Red Bull by merely eight points and is currently among the favorites to claim the 2024 constructors’ title. The upcoming race around the tricky street circuit will be a stern test for the team in determining their fate for the remainder of the season.
