FIA Rejects McLaren request to review Norris penalty

0


Formula 1's governing body has rejected a request by McLaren to review a penalty handed out to Lando Norris in the United States Grand Prix.

The five-second penalty, for overtaking title rival Max Verstappen off the track, demoted Norris behind the Dutchman from third to fourth place in the race results.

Stewards for governing body the FIA rejected McLaren's submission on the grounds that it contained "no relevant new element".

McLaren had questioned the stewards' verdict on the grounds that it was based on an "error" in assessing the incident.

Norris was penalised because he had not fulfilled F1's driver overtaking guidelines, which dictate that for a car overtaking on the outside to be afforded space by the defender on the inside, their car's front axle must be ahead of the front axle of the car on the inside at the apex of the corner.
