Lando Norris has been hit with a post-race setback after the FIA confirmed the deletion of one of his crucial lap times due to a track limits violation at the British Grand Prix.
The McLaren driver, who had impressed at his home race in Silverstone, was found to have exceeded track boundaries during a vital moment in the race. Following a detailed review by race stewards, the FIA determined that Norris went off-track at Turn [X], prompting the removal of the lap time in question.
An official FIA statement read:
“After examining race footage and data, Car #4 – Lando Norris – was found to have breached track limits and gained a lasting advantage. As per Article [X.X] of the Sporting Regulations, the lap has been deleted.”
While McLaren voiced disappointment over the outcome, they accepted the decision. The deleted lap impacted Norris’ final race result and could have implications for his position in the championship standings.
The ruling has sparked renewed debate over the consistency of track limits enforcement, a topic that continues to stir controversy across the paddock. McLaren has not yet indicated whether it will seek a review of the decision.
