McLaren call for an inquiry into the penalty Lando Norris was given for ignoring yellow flags during the Qatar Grand Prix.
McLaren have called for an inquiry into the penalty Lando Norris was given for ignoring yellow flags during the Qatar Grand Prix.
His remarks allude to a period of turmoil at governing body the FIA in which the race director changed just one race ago, with three grands prix before the end of the season, andRui Marques made his debut as race director at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, a week before Qatar. He was drafted in at the last minute after the previous race director, Niels Wittich, was fired. No explanation has been given by the FIA for Wittich's dismissal.
Hamilton said he thought his puncture was caused by excessive tyre wear from a car that was lacking front grip on a long first stint. It added: "The extensive debris after a car hit the mirror and the punctures that occurred shortly after forced the decision on a safety car." The FIA said Norris' penalty "was in accordance with the penalty guidelines circulated to the teams on 19 February 2024.
"The specificity has to do with what case are we actually considering? Is there an immediate danger for somebody? Is there a crash scene? Stella said the FIA should consider this "very seriously if we want fairness to be part of racing in F1".
