A McLaren will appeal against the sentence Lando Norris during the Canadian GP, race played two weeks ago. The British team made use of the “right of revision”, provided for by the regulations, to try to recover the points lost by the driver of car n°4 in the disputed stage on the circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Due to the decision of the FIA (International Automobile Federation) stewards, Norris dropped from ninth to 13th place in the Canadian race.
In Montreal, the race direction considered that on the 12th lap, the McLaren Driver “slowed down under the safety car to avoid delaying his stop during a double pit stop”. And that “there was a significant difference in speed between car 4 [Norris] and the car 81 [Oscar Piastri] between curves 10 and 13 (about 50 km/h)”, indicates the text of the entity that governs the sport after the race.
“Article 12.2.l of the International Sporting Code is aimed at any violation of the principles of fairness in competition, unsportsmanlike behavior or attempt to influence the results of a competition, contrary to sporting ethics”, continues the document of the federation. .

In the press release published this Friday (30), the McLaren said she was again surprised by the decision of the race marshals of the Canadian GP. The team entered into discussions about the performance of the entity and felt that there was a new precedent there, so they decided to go further. “We are very supportive of the FIA and the stewards and trust them as they do a difficult job,” the Woking team wrote. “We believe that stewards must make decisions in a short time, analyzing complex scenarios and often with partial information and several elements to consider.”
“In Canada, we were surprised by the sanction and unsure of the reasoning behind the decision. We spoke to the stewards immediately after the race to help understand the reason for the penalty.
Also in the note, the orange squadron specifies that it “accepts the initial explanation of the sanction and decides to examine the file in a calm and thoughtful manner, which includes consulting the precedents”. He detailed: “After this careful and thorough review, we believe there is sufficient evidence to submit a ‘right of review’ to the FIA.”

“The FIA’s regulatory framework has tools and processes that enable it and the sport to deal with the operational complexity of the Formula 1, mainly for the decisions to be made during the race.
