There was a bit of gamesmanship going on before the start of the grid at the US Grand Prix last weekend.
At the US Grand Prix, McLaren found it amusing that Red Bull attempted and failed to remove reference tape from Lando Norris’ grid box.
Red Bull was fined €50,000, with €25,000 of the fine suspended, after a team member crossed onto the track during the formation lap.
The tape was meant to help Norris position his car before the race, but he did not end up needing it.
Norris and McLaren found the incident entertaining, as Red Bull’s attempt to remove the tape was unsuccessful.
Despite Red Bull’s repeated efforts to remove the tape, Norris plans to continue using it in future races as the season approaches its climax.
