Norris penalized by 3 places on the grid in Austria

Hero of last weekend, Lando Norris is not starting the second Austrian weekend in the best way. The pilot McLaren will indeed have to move back 3 places on the starting grid for the Styrian Grand Prix.

The Briton, author of his first career podium with a 3rd place last Sunday, was in fact caught by the patrol for having exceeded theAlpha Tauri de Pierre Gasly at turn 5 while a yellow flag was waved. 

Footage from Norris' on-board camera confirmed the fault and led to the penalty imposed for such an offence. The 20-year-old also receives 2 penalty points on his license F1
