FIA investigate Norris after alleged illegal overtake
Lando Norris and Yuki Tsunoda were both investigated by FIA stewards during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after an incident on lap 23, where Norris overtook Tsunoda on the Yas Marina Circuit.
Norris was probed for having all four wheels over the white line while passing Tsunoda, potentially gaining an advantage.
Tsunoda, on the other hand, was looked into for allegedly forcing another driver off the track during the same incident.
FIA quickly resolved the issues to minimize the impact on the title battle, ultimately determining that Norris would face no further action while Tsunoda received a five-second penalty.
Can Tsunoda’s efforts help Max Verstappen in his pursuit of a fifth consecutive drivers’ championship, needing to win the race and have Norris finish below third to equal an F1 record?
It seems Tsunoda, racing in his last F1 event for Red Bull, may play a strategic role as his team considers potential tactics to influence the outcome between Norris, Verstappen, and other contenders like Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri.
