McLaren have called for an inquiry into the penalty issued to168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lando Norris during the F1 Qatar Grand Prix.

Norris was hit with a 10-second stop-and-go penalty for 💟ignoring yellow flags when a wing mirror fell off Alex Albon’s Williams. The punishment dropped Norris from second to 10th.

It cost McLaren vital points in their quest to win the constructors’ champions🔴hip for the first time since 1998. The Woking squad hold a 21-point lead over nearest ri🍎vals Ferrari heading into the Abu Dhabi season finale.

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella insisted the penalty “lacked any specificity and proportion” and risks “con♔sequenc൲es”.

"I'm here acknowledging that, ch𝐆ecking the data, Lando did notꦺ slow down,” Stella said.

"But the lack of any specificity and proportion is very concerning, and is also a factor that could have a decis⛎ive impact on the championship quest.

"It's definitely material that the FIA should consider very seriously if we want fairness to be part of the competition of the going racing in Formula 1. It's an important buꦑsin♐ess.

"There's a huge commitment from every team, a huge commitment from all the parties, and we need to make sure that the business is run in a way that some fundamental element of proportion and specificity is guaranteed when a penalty is appl🐽ied. Otherwise, the consequences may go out of control.

"To me, it looks like somewhere there must be a book with a lot of dust on the cover that was kind of taken out [and someone s🌼aid]: 'Let me see what it says. I app🔥ly this.’”

Stella confirmed McLaren are seeking a review into the punishment from F1’s governing body the F𓆉IA.

"We expect that this case of applying such a severe penalty will be reviewed by the FIA, and there is certainly, in our opinion,♊ material for improvement once the FIA has ta🎃ken this opportunity to open a review of their operations and application of the penalty,” he added.

"As for the rest, we don't want toಌ comment. We trust the FIA in terms of their decisions, 𝓰in terms of when you put somebody in a certain role - that's the job of the FIA.

"For us, we have🌌 expressed that we expect this to be the case to be 🔥reviewed but we don't want to enter with any comment about changes of racing director. We don't have the elements to judge, so we just trust the institution that is there to do this kind of job.”
