Lando Norris has to answer to the race stewards. The driver of McLaren has a time penalty hanging over his head after he overtaken a car during the first free practice session during a yellow flag.

Various sources report this on Twitter. Just over eleven minutes before the end of the first practice session, the yellow flag was shown in turn five, which Norris ignored. As a result, Norris is under investigation and may receive a time penalty. 

Norris was the celebrated man last weekend, with his first podium finish of his career. The twenty year old Englishman of McLaren finished third in Austria behind Valtteri Bottas and Charles Leclerc. Due to a time penalty for Lewis Hamilton, the English driver finished just ahead of his compatriot.
