Lando Norris is a British-Belgian racing driver currently competing in Formula One with McLaren, racing under the British flag. He won the MSA Formula championship in 2015, and the Toyota Racing Series, Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup in 2016
Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris were both hit with post-race time penalties after enduring a tough Canadian Grand Prix.
But the Spaniard felt the stewards’ wrath after moving across the track on multiple occasions to defend from Alfa Romeo driver Valtteri Bottas during the closing stages in Montreal.
The stewards’ report read: “Between turns 10 and 12, on the penultimate lap of the race, car 14 made repeated changes of direction to defend against car 77 who had to lift at one point and briefly lost momentum.
“Whilst noting the driver’s point that at no stage was any point of car 77 alongside car 14, the Stewards consider this to be a clear breach of the above regulation.
“The Stewards therefore impose a 5 seconds time penalty in line with that imposed for a similar incident in Australia 2022.”
