FIA Helps Verstappen Win the Title | US Grand Prix Review
Yesterday's U.S. Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas was a thrilling race marked by intense competition and significant penalties that stirred controversy. Charles Leclerc claimed victory after a strong performance, but much of the post-race discussion revolved around the penalties that impacted several drivers. Notably, Lando Norris was hit with a five-second penalty for overtaking Max Verstappen, which many found contentious. The penalty, which Norris claimed he didn’t fully understand, played a critical role in shaping the final results, with Verstappen extending his championship lead.
The FIA's enforcement of penalties, particularly Norris's, has sparked debate about consistency in officiating. Many fans and drivers voiced concerns that the penalties detract from the racing spectacle, with Max Verstappen stating that penalties are now overshadowing the actual competition. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso also faced scrutiny for a separate incident, receiving a 10-second penalty for a collision with Carlos Sainz. Alonso, who has been critical of penalty consistency this season, was frustrated by what he saw as a harsh punishment for a move that was part of hard racing.
