The hunter or hunted argument that could be key to McLaren’s right of review push

FIA stewards will meet on Friday to discuss the latest Norris/Verstappen controversy

McLaren's petition to seek a right of review over Lando Norris's penalty for overtaking Max Verstappen off track in Austin shows it remains deeply unhappy over what happened last weekend. And while few would argue against the fact that overtaking off track is not allowed in F1, a deeper understanding of what played out at Turn 12 has opened up a much more complex scenario.

So from Norris's perspective, the verdict should be based on Verstappen attacking him down the inside under braking, rather than him being viewed as the one trying to go around the outside. The Driving Guidelines do not make reference to at what point one car is deemed to be ahead of another, but if it is ruled that Norris was actually ahead then Verstappen would have needed to fulfil some key criteria for the pass to be allowed.
