McLaren has outlined the findings from its investigation into the car failure that put Lando Norris out of Formula 1’s Dutch GP
McLaren has disclosed the results of its investigation into the car failure that forced Lando Norris out of the Formula 1 Dutch GP, with preventative measures already in place to avoid it happening again. Norris’ title aspirations took a hit when an oil leak caused his car to stop near the end of the race at Zandvoort last weekend. Despite running in second place, Norris had reported a smell of smoke in the cockpit before the car shut down. The issue was pinpointed to a failed engine oil line rather than a problem with engine supplier Mercedes. McLaren has swiftly addressed the issue by reinforcing the oil line for the upcoming Italian GP, ensuring Norris will not face penalties for the failed unit. Norris expressed understanding for the complexity of F1 technology and the necessary adjustments to prevent reoccurrence of such failures.
