McLaren has officially failed to get a review of the penalty awarded to Lando Norris in the United States Grand Prix.

Norris received a 5-second penalty for leaving the track and gained an advantage when overtaking Max Verstappen late in the race, the penalty dropping him back behind his title rival in the final standings. McLaren filed a petition on Thursday for a right to review the sentence, 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 item was the stewards’ document describing the penalty itself from Austin, which read: “Car no. 4 was overtaking car no. 1 on the outside, but it was not level with car no. 1 at the top”. 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 decision was the significant and relevant new element.

Following the hearing on Friday afternoon – which was held with representatives from McLaren and Red Bull – the original stewards ruled that the petition was not sustainable as it claims the new element is the document itself.

“An application for review is made to correct an error (of fact or law) in a decision,” the stewards’ decision reads. “Any new element must demonstrate this error.

“In this case, the view that the Written Decision (document number 69) was the significant and relevant new element, or that an error in the decision was the new element, is not tenable and is therefore rejected.”

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