The McLaren F1 team tried to overturn Lando Norris’ penalty at the Canadian Grand Prix but was overruled by the F1 stewards. Norris finished ninth at the Montreal Grand Prix two weeks ago, but was handed a five-second time penalty and dropped out of the points.
When McLaren pitted both drivers at the same time, the stewards said that Norris slowed under the safety car and tried to create a gap with his team-mate Oscar Piastri in front of him. Contrary to “” driving. A public hearing was held at the Red Bull Ring on Sunday morning ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, upholding the stewards’ decision. McLaren said at the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile) team managers’ meeting on June 30, 2023, “Eight teams for which no penalties were allegedly imposed despite gaps that allegedly had a negative impact on rivals. “Video, audio, GPS and timing evidence for different cases” and a “memorandum demonstrating the team’s understanding that no penalty should be imposed for alleged violations”. But Williams, who was also present at the meeting, stressed that in three cases in 2016, 2017 and 2018, “behaviors like what happened in Canada 2023” were penalized. Regarding the recent team managers’ meeting, he said: “There was no general consensus that Norris should not have been penalized at that meeting, so that meeting was irrelevant.” The stewards dismissed the appeal, ruling that “McLaren did not obtain any material, new or relevant elements”. McLaren released a statement, believing it had provided relevant new evidence, but claimed he accepted the decision. “We respect the decision of the FIA and the stewards to support Lando Norris’ five-second time penalty at the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix,” said McLaren. “However, we believe that we have submitted sufficient new evidence, material and relevant, to justify a ‘right of review’.” We accept the stewards’ decision and, although it was not the result we wanted, we would like to thank the stewards for their time and cooperation.”
