FIA Issues Penalty to Lando Norris Following Embarrassing Co…
Lando Norris’s Spanish Grand Prix weekend took an unexpected turn as the FIA announced a penalty following a collision during the final practice session at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The McLaren driver, who had shown strong pace throughout the weekend, lost control of his car at the high-speed Turn 9 during FP3. He momentarily lost the rear of his McLaren, forcing him to take to the run-off area to avoid a more severe incident.
The FIA stewards reviewed the incident and determined that Norris had rejoined the track in an unsafe manner, posing a potential hazard to other drivers. As a result, Norris has been handed a three-place grid penalty for the upcoming qualifying session.
This penalty comes as a setback for Norris, who has been a strong contender in the championship standings. The McLaren team will need to adjust their strategy accordingly to mitigate the impact of the grid drop.
Qualifying is scheduled to take place later today, with teams and drivers preparing for what promises to be a competitive session.
