The McLaren star recorded the eighth second-place finish of his career after holding off Red Bull star Sergio Perez at the safety car restart but slipped up after the chequered flag.
Pointing out the error, Sky Sports F1 commentator David Croft said: “Lando Norris has stopped before Parc Ferme here and he’s currently, here you can see rolling backwards.”
Chandhok then chimed in: “Yeah he’s closed the pit lane. He should have come to the grid, shouldn’t he?” before Croft explained the reasoning for his error.
“Well they’ve changed it haven’t they because normally, the top three will all pull into Parc Ferme in the pit lane. And today they’ve changed it around so that the top three should be parking on the grid.”
Chandhok believed that Norris’ incident could land him in hot water with the FIA, adding: “He’ll probably get in trouble.”
Norris, however, had no worries as he celebrated his and McLaren’s strongest result of the season so far. The 24-year-old is now 20 points clear of team-mate Oscar Piastri in the standings and just 11 points behind Carlos Sainz.
