Lando Norris’ first Spanish Grand Prix didn’t quite finish the way he would’ve wanted it to, a collision with Lance Stroll ending both their races.

Despite the stewards deciding no further action on the incident will be taken, Norris still believes that the crash was Stroll’s fault.

After the race Norris said: "It was pretty simple to be honest.

“I was on the outside into Turn 1, he knew I was there, he defended into Turn 1. After that, I don’t know if he saw me going into Turn 2 but I was still on the inside then for Turn 2 and he just turned in and didn’t leave me enough space basically.

“He cut across the front of my car and he put himself out of the race and me out of the race.

“So I’m a bit annoyed I didn’t get to finish my fifth grand prix, but at the end of the day we weren’t in the points so it didn’t cost us as much as it could have done in another race or anything.”
