拉塞尔与维斯塔潘认为对科拉平托实施禁赛“过于严厉”
梅赛德斯车手拉塞尔认为，科拉平托在阿塞拜疆大奖赛中撞车后若被禁赛处罚将“过于严厉”，维斯塔潘也持相同看法。
关于禁赛一场的讨论对弗朗哥·科拉平托来说“过于严苛”，乔治·拉塞尔和马克斯·维斯塔潘如此表示
冠军乔治·拉塞尔和亚军马克斯·维斯塔潘在弗朗哥·科拉平托于F1阿塞拜疆大奖赛引发一场代价高昂的碰撞后，为他进行了辩护
梅赛德斯车手乔治·拉塞尔认为，在这位阿根廷车手在阿塞拜疆大奖赛中撞掉阿尔派车队的队友皮埃尔·加斯利和迈凯伦车队的兰多·诺里斯之后，对弗朗哥·科拉平托处以禁赛一场的处罚会“过于严苛”。
在第36圈重新发车时，科拉平托在巴库街道赛道的1号弯内侧布满灰尘的进弯路线上出现失误，前轮锁死并猛烈撞上加斯利的赛车侧面，导致两位车手双双退赛。诺里斯也在这次事故中被波及，这使得阿尔派车队很可能获得的双积分完赛化为泡影。
加斯利和诺里斯都对科拉平托的驾驶方式感到不满，后者甚至呼吁国际汽联考虑对这种粗心驾驶行为处以禁赛一场的处罚。
"我认为国际汽联应该更加严格，开始对这类行为作出禁赛处罚。这种行为很粗心。它会带来巨额损失，我的所有部件现在都进了垃圾桶。这种人就应该被禁赛，因为这样的驾驶不配出现在一级方程式里,"诺里斯说，随后在晚些时候又重申了这一立场。
当诺里斯的观点被提给本场比赛的前三名完赛者时，冠军拉塞尔对科拉平托的失误表现出更多理解："我个人认为这太严厉了。安全车重启、冷胎状态下，一个很小的失误就可能造成严重后果。从我今天看到的情况来看，就是这样的。这是一个小错误，却带来了严重后果。
"我个人认为，禁赛处罚应该针对那些故意做出非常危险、非常鲁莽行为的车手。所以，我认为这只是不幸的意外。"
去年在奥地利大奖赛起步时被安东内利撞出比赛的亚军维斯塔潘也遭遇过类似命运，他同样比诺里斯更宽容：“只要造成事故的车手意识到自己做了什么并道了歉，对吧？我是说，这种事会发生。一个小失误或误判，你锁死了车轮。
“事故发生在内侧，抓地力很低，然后我猜有点不幸的是牵连了这么多车。对任何被卷入的人来说都不好受，对吧？但就像拉塞尔说的，我觉得禁赛一场可能有点过了。”
登上领奖台的伊萨克·哈贾尔也指出赛道是重要因素，科拉平托的失误只是低抓地力街道表面上众多锁死车轮的情况之一。赛车线外抓地力的不足似乎让车手们不愿尝试在一号弯超车，而这条6公里长的巴库城市赛道正是一号弯提供了主要的超车机会。
“从我的角度来说，我觉得这条赛道不够好，”伤愈复出并拿下第三名的哈贾尔说道。“你一旦离开赛车线，路面就开始变得非常颠簸。
“在安全车后面很难让轮胎产生温度，它的速度相当慢。所以，一旦你操之过急，就会带来非常非常严重的后果。所以，我认为禁赛一场的处罚太过严厉了。”
国际汽联的赛事干事给科拉平托开出了10秒罚时。但由于这位阿尔派车手（阿尔派）的车手已经自己退出了比赛，这一处罚将转换为下周在马来西亚举行的巴林大奖赛的发车位后退五位。
科拉平托为他所谓的“一个大失误”道歉，这次失误也招致了阿尔派车队（阿尔派）负责人弗拉维奥·布里亚托利的愤怒。

Race ban talk "too harsh" on Franco Colapinto, George Russell and Max Verstappen say
Winner George Russell and runner-up Max Verstappen have defended Franco Colapinto after he triggered a costly collision in Formula 1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Mercedes driver George Russell feels a Formula 1 race ban would have been "too harsh" on Franco Colapinto after the Argentinian took out Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly and McLaren's Lando Norris in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
On a lap 36 restart, Colapinto made an error on the dusty inside approach to Turn 1 of the Baku street circuit, locking up his front tyres and slamming into the side of Gasly, taking both drivers out of the race. Norris was also collected in the incident, which robbed Alpine of a likely double points finish.
Both Gasly and Norris were upset with Colapinto's driving, with the latter even going as far as calling for the FIA to consider a one-race ban for careless driving behaviour.
"I think the FIA should be more strict and start handing out bans for this kind of stuff. It's careless from people. It costs a lot of money; all my parts are in the bin now. People should just get banned, because that's not driving that deserves to be in Formula 1," Norris said, before doubling down on it later.
When Norris' thoughts were put to the race's top three finishers, race winner Russell showed more understanding for Colapinto's blunder: "I think that’s too harsh, personally. I think safety car restarts, cold tyres, a very small mistake can have big consequences. And from what I saw today, that’s what it looked like. It was a small error that had a big consequence.
"I think, personally, race bans should come from drivers intentionally doing something very dangerous and very reckless. So, I think it was unfortunate."
Runner-up Max Verstappen, who suffered a similar fate last year when he was taken out by Kimi Antonelli at the start of the Austrian GP, was also more clement than Norris: "As long as the driver that caused it is aware of what he did and apologised, right? I mean, that happens. A small mistake or misjudgement, you lock up.
"It’s on the inside, low grip, and then I guess it's a bit unfortunate that it involves so many cars. It's not nice for anyone involved, right? But like George said, I think a race ban probably is a bit much."
Podium finisher Isack Hadjar also named the track as an important contributor, with Colapinto's error just one of many lock-ups on the low-grip street surface. The lack of grip off the racing line appeared to discourage drivers from attempting overtakes into Turn 1, the 6km Baku City Circuit's main passing opportunity.
"From my side, I think the track is not good enough," Hadjar said after taking third on his return from injury. "You move out of the racing line, it starts to be very bumpy.
"It’s hard to generate temperature behind the safety car, it’s going quite slowly. So, then you just overdo it and then it has big, big consequences. So, I think a race ban is way too harsh."
The FIA race stewards handed Colapinto a 10-second penalty. But as the Alpine driver eliminated himself from the race, that punishment will be converted into a five-place grid drop for next weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.
Colapinto apologised for what he called a "big mistake", which also drew the ire of Alpine chief Flavio Briatore.
