Update | McLaren Sunday to stewards for 'Right to Review' regarding Norris

McLaren is not resigned to the five-second penalty Lando Norris received at the Canadian Grand Prix. The English team announced via a press release that a 'Right to Review' has been requested from the FIA.

Normally, the result is final at the end of the race. However, there are always options for teams to challenge the result. This may involve looking at the 'Right to Review' section in the FIA's International Sporting Code. Rule 14.1.1 of this document states that a process can be initiated with newly submitted information.

Norris was given a five-second time penalty for 'unsportsmanlike behaviour' in Montreal. Norris allegedly deliberately left a gap behind the safety car, according to the stewards. The McLaren driver already disagreed in Canada. McLaren agrees with their driver, as revealed in Austria. "In Canada, we were surprised by the penalty and uncertain as to the rationale behind the decision. We spoke to the Stewards immediately after the race to help understand the reasoning for the penalty," the team said in a statement.

"The team took the initial explanation onboard and decided to review the case in a calm and considered manner, performing comprehensive due diligence, which included looking at the precedents. After this careful and extensive review, we believe enough evidence exists to submit a “right to review” to the FIA, which we have done so."

McLaren has not disclosed what the required new evidence is.

McLaren's team representative is expected to meet with the stewards at 09:30 on Sunday morning. The hearing will possibly consist of two parts. The first part will focus on discussing the evidence. It will then consider whether or not there is 'significant and relevant new evidence'.

A Williams representative must also appear in the stewards' office at 09:30. Alexander Albon was one of the drivers driving behind Norris at the time he left a gap to his teammate Oscar Piastri. If it is ruled that there was indeed significant material provided by McLaren, a second hearing will be scheduled at a later date to hear the substance of the case.
