The FIA explained the controversial five-second penalty given to Lando Norris for overtaking Max Verstappen at the 2024 U.S. Grand Prix.
Following the 2024 United States Grand Prix, the FIA has broken its silence on the penalty imposed on Lando Norris, a driver fighting for the Driver's Championship.The British driver, piloting the number 4 for McLaren, was handed a five-second penalty for an overtaking move that saw him finish fourth, trailing behind his Red Bull Racing rival, Max Verstappen.
'The five-second penalty, while less severe than the typical ten-second penalty indicated in the guidelines, was meted out acknowledging unique circumstances.'A 5-second penalty is imposed instead of the 10-second penalty recommended in the guidelines because, having committed to the overtaking move on the outside, the driver of Car 4 had little alternative other than to leave the track because of the proximity of Car 1, which had also left the track.
