The McLaren F1 team has lodged a right to review for the incident involving Max Verstappen and Lando Norris at the 2024 US Grand Prix last weekend. The two championship contenders were involved in an intense battle for the final podium position in the latter half of the race.
The British driver had a six-lap tire advantage over the three-time reigning world champion and tried his best to get past the Red Bull driver. After multiple attempts, Norris was able to move past Verstappen with five laps remaining. But it was deemed that he overtook the Dutch driver outside of the track and was duly given a 5-second penalty, meaning he finished behind Verstappen.
McLaren and Norris debated the stewards' decision after the race as they believed that the 24-year-old was pushed off the track by Max Verstappen. Ahead of the Mexican GP this weekend, the Woking-based outfit lodged a 'Right to Review' on the incident as they seek clarification on the rule from the FIA.
