Lando Norris expects Charles Leclerc to receive a penalty after blocking him in the tunnel in qualifying.
Charles Leclerc has been given a three-place grid penalty for the Monaco Grand Prix for impeding Lando Norris in qualifying.
The penalty drops Leclerc from third to sixth and puts Esteban Ocon and Carlos Sainz onto the second row, with Lewis Hamilton now fifth. Norris, who hit the barriers during the second part of qualifying, remains 10th.
During Q3, Norris was on a flying lap when he came across Leclerc, who was on a slow lap, in the tunnel.
Norris told Sky Sports F1 that the Ferrari driver would get a penalty, and the stewards duly arrives at that verdict.
