McLaren boss seeks clarification from FIA after Norris is affected by costly yellow flag during Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying.
McLaren team principal Andrea Stella has demanded an explanation from the FIA regarding a yellow flag during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying session. The incident, triggered by Esteban Ocon's slow-moving car, saw Norris's promising lap in Q1 disrupted, relegating him to a 17th starting position for the race.This marks Norris's first Q1 exit since the Las Vegas Grand Prix in 2023, casting a shadow over what the Papaya driver will be able to achieve this Sunday.
'The team didn't say it because it was displayed last minute and we checked right now in our tools and it is actually displayed as a yellow, so we were in conversations with the FIA as to why that happened because the yellow flag isn't necessary when there's a car just a slow car, it is not on a flying lap.
