FIA confirm Norris among F1 stars hit by lap deletion at Italian GP
The FIA announced that McLaren’s Lando Norris was one of the F1 stars affected by lap deletions at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend. Norris initially seemed poised for pole position in Italy on Saturday until Max Verstappen emerged as the fastest, claiming his 45th career pole and setting a new fastest lap record. Consequently, Norris will start from the second row alongside Verstappen for Sunday’s main race, ahead of championship leader Oscar Piastri and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Prior to the Grand Prix, it was revealed that Norris had laps deleted due to track infringements at turns 1, 6, and 7, along with three other drivers. The FIA listed the deleted lap times, including those of Norris, Carlos Sainz, Alexander Albon, and Liam Lawson from the 2025 Italian GP qualifying session.
