Lando Norris was summoned to see the stewards after his McLaren ground to a halt in the second Monaco practice session…
Lando Norris was called before the stewards due to his McLaren breaking down during the second Monaco practice session and highlighting an issue that the FIA is scrutinizing in 2026. Norris explained that his car suddenly stopped working, prompting his team to investigate the problem by breaking the curfew on Friday night. The summons was related to a breach of Article C9.3 of the technical regulations concerning the clutch disengagement system that all cars must have in working order. A similar issue with the clutch disengagement system on Liam Lawson’s car in Montreal led to Racing Bulls being fined €30,000 for causing a session stoppage. The FIA Technical Delegate raised concerns over the CDS’s dual purpose on Lawson’s car, which had also been flagged in 2025. Norris and a McLaren representative met with the stewards after the second practice, alongside Ferrari, receiving a warning for impeding another driver.
