McLaren Seeks Review of Lando Norris' US Grand Prix Penalty

    Oct 25th, 2024

    Summary

    McLaren has submitted a right of review over the penalty that dropped Lando Norris behind Max Verstappen at the US Grand Prix. The penalty was given for passing Verstappen off track, but McLaren believes the stewards made the wrong decision. The FIA will hold a hearing on Friday to discuss the appeal, with a second hearing possible if new evidence is presented. McLaren's bid to overturn the five-second penalty could potentially impact Verstappen's lead in the Drivers' Championship, which currently stands at 57 points with five rounds remaining. The team claims there is new evidence available that was not available at the time of the decision, which they believe supports their case. A hearing will be conducted via videoconference to determine if the appeal will be granted.
