Why Norris didn’t get a jump start penalty in F1 Saudi Arabian GP
Lando Norris made a brief forward movement from his grid slot before the race start that was reported by George Russell on the team radio. Despite the movement, the stewards ruled that Norris did not jump the start as the FIA’s transponder did not indicate a violation. The stewards explained that the transponder is the only valid parameter for determining jump starts, and Norris’s movement fell within acceptable limits. Norris later mentioned that he didn’t understand what happened and lost ground due to the incident. This was not the first time a driver escaped penalty for a similar incident, as there have been precedents in previous races. Ultimately, Norris finished eighth after a challenging race in Jeddah.
