Norris was handed a five-second penalty by the stewards for “un🌠sportsmanlike” conduct at the race in Montreal two weeks ago.

This was in relation to how much Norris backed up from his teammate Oscar Piastri before coming into the pit lane under th🌄e Safety Car.

Their right of review was ultimately rejected “because𒀰 there is no signi𓆉ficant, new, relevant element that was unavailable to McLaren at the time of the decision”.

McLaren argued that evidence from previous FIA team managers’ meetings highlighted that Norris actions shouldn’t be penalise🔴d either.

Additionally, they cited 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas’ similar driving at the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix, when he backed off from teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton when the Safety Car was ✨deployed t🎉o avoid losing out.

McLaren also cited “video, audio, GPS and timing evide🍃nce” of eight other instances - which resulted in a greater time loss to their rivals -  than the incident they were appealing.

H꧋owever, Norris’ penalty still stands for the aforementioned reason of there being “no significant, new or relevant” elements.

It was noted that Aston Martin made it clear that there were “no ⛎new elements” to McLaren’s appeal.

Williams, Red Bull an♐d Alpine were 🅘also present in the Sunday hearing.
