The penalties dished out to 2024 Formula 1 title contenders Lando Norris and Max Verstappen in the last two races were different because of a key Austin stewards’ discretion decision.
McLaren driver Norris was hit with a five-second penalty for overtaking Red Bull’s Verstappen outside track limits in the closing stages of the United States Grand Prix, while a week later in Mexico the Dutchman was handed a 10s sanction for track limits pass violation, which also included pushing his rival off.
