US EditionNorris Amused by F1's Tale of the Tape and Red Bull Fine
Red Bull was fined £50,000 after a mechanic re-entered the grid improperly trying to remove tape Norris used as a backup visual aid to avoid a grid penalty.
- On Thursday, Lando Norris mocked Red Bull after the team was fined following a failed attempt to remove his McLaren grid marker tape.
- McLaren said the tape was placed on the pit wall to help Norris align on the grid at Austin's Circuit of the Americas, after Red Bull removed such markers in Monza, prompting tougher tape designs.
- Norris said `I didn’t use the tape, so it was extra amusing because I didn’t need it` and added `We just put it there in case`; he uses the painted grid line in 95% of races, keeping tape as backup.
- Although the sanction targeted the mechanic's grid re-entry, a Red Bull mechanic triggered a 50,000 euro fine after marshals instructed him to leave, which Max Verstappen, Red Bull driver, accepted.
- Norris framed the attempts as minor distractions, calling them 'side quests' amid five races where Max Verstappen, Red Bull driver, closed the gap to him and Oscar Piastri, McLaren driver.
