Norris expects harsh penalty for Leclerc after Monaco qualifying block

Lando Norris wants to see the stewards give Charles Leclerc a harsh penalty after he was blocked during his final run in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver was in a race against time after damaging his suspension at the end of Q2, which happened when he clipped the barrier coming out of the Nouvelle Chicane.

His mechanics managed to fix the car in time for a final run in Q3, but he only managed one lap time after Leclerc slowed down in the tunnel and blocked him on his run.

When asked what sort of penalty he thinks Leclerc should receive, the Briton was pretty clear, given any usual grid drop is likely to not affect his starting position with track position being crucial at Monaco.

"I don't know, disqualified or something?" he told Sky Sports.

"I don't know, there's one rule which is don't slow down in the middle of the tunnel, and that's what he did, so not up to me."

Norris currently starts from 10th for the race, while Leclerc has a P3 start at risk if the stewards decide to penalise him.
