McLaren has officially failed to get a review of the penalty handed out to Lando Norris at the US Grand Prix.

Norris received a 5s time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage when overtaking Max Verstappen late in the race, with the penalty dropping him behind his title rival in the final classification. McLaren filed a request for reconsideration of the penalty on Thursday, with a hearing on Friday to determine whether there was a significant and relevant new element that was not available at the time of the decision.

McLaren claimed its new element was the stewards’ document outlining the actual penalty from Austin, which said: “Car No. 4 overtook Car No. 1 on the outside but was not level with Car No. 1 at the apex”. McLaren argued that this was an error because it had evidence that Norris had already overtaken and was ahead of Verstappen “at the braking zone”, and that therefore this error in the decision was the important and relevant new element.

After the hearing on Friday afternoon – which took place with representatives from McLaren and Red Bull – the original trustees ruled that the petition was not sustainable, as it claims the new element is the document itself.

“A request for review is made to correct an error (error of fact or law) in a decision,” the trustees’ decision read. “All new elements must show that error.

“In this case, the concept that the written decision (document number 69) was the important and relevant new element, or that an error in the decision was a new element, is not tenable and is therefore rejected.”

The result of the race in Austin stands, with Verstappen maintaining a 57-point lead over Norris heading into this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix.
