Lando Norris reacts after Red Bull fined over grid tape ‘side quest’
Lando Norris makes Red Bull claim after F1 team fined €50,000
- Red Bull received a €50,000 fine for attempting to remove tape marking Lando Norris's grid position at the United States Grand Prix.
- McLaren had placed the tape to assist Norris with car alignment, though Norris found it amusing as he did not actually use it.
- The penalty was issued because a Red Bull team member remained on the grid past the allowed time, not for the attempted tape removal itself.
- Norris stated that McLaren had designed the tape to be difficult to remove and that Red Bull had tried similar tactics in previous races.
- Separately, Lewis Hamilton advised Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to be as 'cut-throat' and consistent as Max Verstappen if they aspire to win the Formula One world title.
