Lando Norris admits safety is taken for granted by drivers as well

Hubert was involved in a massive crash and was later confirmed dead, with fellow Formula 2 driver Juan Manuel Correa suffering severe leg and spine injuries.

"It shook me in quite a big way because I think even us as drivers, we take it for granted sometimes - what we do, how safe things are, how we can have such big crashes and get away with it and be fine," Norris said to Motorsport.com.

"But so quickly, it can go the opposite way. I guess in the past, that was a lot more of an expected and regular occurence. This was more of something that can just happen to any of us.

"My condolences go out to all the family and friends of Anthoine. I feel bad, knowing I was in it racing every day, it could have been anyone. It wasn't but it could have been me last year. And it's when you start thinking of things like that, it starts shaking you."
