Lando Norris’ Immediate Reaction to McLaren Punishment U-Turn Caught on Camera

Lando Norris' immediate reaction to McLaren's U-turn on his punishment has been caught on camera.

Over the last few weeks, the race to become Formula 1 world champion has ramped up.

Championship leader Oscar Piastri has seen his lead over Norris at the top of the standings cut to just 14 points after enduring a number of tough weekends.

Meanwhile, reigning champion Max Verstappen has re-entered the race as he is only 40 points behind Piastri.

During the last two races, the McLaren pair made contact, with Norris touching wheels with Piastri in Singapore before the pair collided during the opening lap of the United States Grand Prix sprint.

Following the Singapore Grand Prix incident, Norris revealed that he would face 'repercussions' for the remainder of the campaign.

However, following another collision in Austin last weekend, it appears that whatever advantage given to Piastri has now been taken away.

According to The Race, McLaren will 'no longer impose a minor sporting penalty on Lando Norris' upon reviewing the US Grand Prix sprint incident.

Following the driver's press conference, Norris was asked about the U-turn on the 'repercussions'.

The reporter asked: "What's your feeling arriving here in Mexico? We also heard Oscar mention earlier that there will be no more repercussions from this point onwards."

The Brit was seen smirking and smiling before appearing to mutter the word 'damn'.

Norris then said: "Yeah I mean, I think my last few weekends have all been just decent. I wouldn't say there's been any perfect weekends.

"A couple where I think I wouldn't have acheived much more, like last weekend. I think it's just about giving myself opportunities, always being there or there abouts. Obviously, Baku was the worst out of all of them, for both of us."

He continued: "But just strong weekends, not incredible but just there where I need to be. Still 14 points, we know the others are strong around us. Still a long four, five weekends to go."

Meanwhile, Piastri mentioned that him and Norris are starting on a clean slate.

The Australian said: "We've gone through it again, we go through every weekend regardless of what's happened.

"There is a degree of responsibility from my side on the sprint, and we're starting this weekend on a clean slate for both of us. Just going out and racing and see who can come out on top."
