Norris, what a risk About an hour after the end of the Sprint Qualifying in Miami where he obtained a good pole position, Lando Norris received the notification from the Stewards, who summoned him to discuss a possible regulatory infringement. The English McLaren driver was put under the magnifying glass of the stewards for having “driven unnecessarily slowly during Qualifying”. The FIA Commissioners grace Lando. From the document published by the Federation, after listening to Norris, it emerged that the McLaren #1 exceeded the time limit of 1″48 between the Safety Car lines clarified in the Notes from the Race Director. However, the Stewards decided not to penalize Norris because the data showed that he had remained under the delta time for almost the entire lap, until Turn 17, when he was overtaken by Nico Hulkenberg’s Audi. This maneuver forced the Englishman to react and create adequate space to then set his fastest lap. The FIA considered this a mitigating factor enough to exonerate Lando Norris.
