McLaren is petitioning for a right of review into Lando Norris’s five second time penalty for passing Max Verstappen off-track in the 2024 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix.
McLaren has petitioned for a right of review into Lando Norris’s time penalty in the 2024 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix, arguing that the penalty was unfair. The team expressed their disagreement with the penalty immediately after the race, with team boss Andrea Stella criticizing the stewards for interfering with the race. Norris and McLaren maintain their stance that the penalty was unjust, claiming that most viewers also disagreed with the decision. Despite doubts about the success of a review, McLaren has now submitted a petition, citing new evidence that was not available at the time of the penalty. The FIA will hold a hearing to determine if there is significant new evidence warranting a review, with McLaren and Red Bull representatives present. Previous attempts by McLaren to challenge penalties through a right of review have been unsuccessful, prompting changes to discourage frivolous requests starting in 2024.
