McLaren F1 star Lando Norris hit by FIA deleted lap ruling after British Grand Prix
Lando Norris, the McLaren F1 star, received a deleted lap verdict from the FIA following his British Grand Prix win at Silverstone.
Despite the deleted lap, Norris claimed victory at his home race, securing his second consecutive win and reducing the gap in the standings to teammate Oscar Piastri to just eight points.
Piastri’s penalty for a safety car infringement aided Norris, who excelled in challenging track conditions throughout the race.
Although Norris had a lap time deleted for not using the track at turn six, he faced no further penalties from FIA stewards.
Other drivers, including Piastri, Leclerc, Hamilton, Verstappen, Bearman, and Sainz, also had lap times deleted during the event.
Norris’ British Grand Prix victory solidifies his status as a beloved British F1 driver, and fans can anticipate an intense championship battle in the remaining races of the season.
As Norris continues to excel, he aims to eventually match the successes of legends like Lewis Hamilton, with sights set on becoming a world champion possibly by 2026 when F1 returns to Silverstone.
