Norris Challenges Verstappen as McLaren Appeals Penalty

The Formula 1 title race intensifies with McLaren contesting a penalty on Lando Norris, aiming to close the gap with Max Verstappen.

McLaren has filed an appeal against the five-second penalty given to Lando Norris at the United States Grand Prix, arguing it unfairly benefited Max Verstappen.
The penalty increased Verstappen's lead over Norris to 57 points, with five races remaining in the season.
Norris and other drivers have criticized Verstappen's aggressive driving style, calling for more consistent officiating in Formula 1.
A driver-only meeting has been scheduled to discuss potential changes, including the idea of hiring permanent stewards for greater consistency.
Verstappen, aiming for his fourth consecutive title, has not won a race since June, while Norris remains determined to adapt his driving style to compete at the highest level.
