Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has called out the penalty levied on McLaren driver Lando Norris by the FIA, describing it as harsh since it could cost McLar

McLaren boss Andrea Stella said he could not understand the decision to hand Lando Norris an “unbelievably harsh” penalty at the Qatar Grand Prix and called for a sense of proportion to be shown to drivers.

A bizarre officiating sequence during Sunday’s Qatar Grand Prix could lead to McLaren losing the constructor’s championship. Max Verstappen won the race as Lando Norris had to pit from second place to serve a 10-second drive-through penalty for failing to slow under a yellow flag.
