Lando Norris had a nervous moment when he was called into the pitlane at the Italian Grand Prix. The British driver had to lock up his tyres to get within the speed limit for the pit lane. His emergency braking caused a lot of smoke and he nudged the pit bollard as he entered the pits.

Close call for Norris

Had Norris gone too quickly into the pits, he would've picked up a penalty for his actions. The McLaren driver can't afford to take one if he is going to get the maximum result at Monza. After 20 laps, Norris is one place behind Piastri. Follow the rest of the action with the liveblog on GPblog.
