McLaren's lead driver, Lando Norris, lost ten points to Verstappen even though he was penalized for causing a collision with Norris in Sunday's F1 Austrian Grand Prix.
McLaren F1 team boss Andrea Stella has, shall we say, some questions about the officiating in Sunday's electric Austrian Grand Prix. Stella's lead driver, Lando Norris, was forced to retire after late contact with Max Verstappen. Verstappen was deemed responsible — but the penalty of only 10 seconds did not cost the championship leader a single position. Verstappen came home fifth, still well ahead of sixth-place Kevin Magnussen even after the 10-second time penalty.
Norris was given five seconds for a track-limit violation, taking him over the total needed for a penalty after going off while racing Verstappen. The Red Bull driver, meanwhile, was given just 10 seconds, even though he was assigned blame for causing the crash in the first place. Verstappen fell to fifth when he had to stop for a new tire, but the time penalty did not drop him any further. Norris, meanwhile, was forced to retire. The bigger issue is the penalty handed to Verstappen.
