McLaren’s petition for a review of Lando Norris’s five-second penalty in Formula 1’s United States Grand Prix has been rejected by the stewards – here’s why
McLaren’s petition for a review of Lando Norris’s penalty in the United States Grand Prix has been rejected by the stewards. Norris was penalized for leaving the track and gaining an advantage during a pass on Max Verstappen, which resulted in him losing third place. The stewards’ decision was based on the racing guidelines for overtaking on the outside of a corner. McLaren argued that the incident should have been viewed from a different perspective, but the stewards upheld their original decision. The stewards clarified that an error in their judgement cannot be considered a new element for review. McLaren’s attempt to challenge the penalty was deemed unsustainable by the stewards.
