Why Lando Norris escaped a penalty for controversial Yuki Tsunoda fight in F1 finale
Lando Norris escaped a penalty for overtaking Yuki Tsunoda off the track during the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. In a tense and dramatic finale, Norris won his first F1 world championship by finishing third at Yas Marina, sealing his maiden drivers’ crown by just two points. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen won the race. A key moment of Norris’s race came on Lap 23 when he overtook Tsunoda; despite investigations, Norris was exonerated for completing the move off track. Tsunoda was penalized for making “more than one change of direction” in defending his position, receiving a time penalty and a penalty point on his license. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown supported the decision, calling Tsunoda’s maneuver “dangerous and unnecessary.”
