Lando Norris’ sprint pole position at the Miami Grand Prix is under threat as the reigning champion has been summoned to the stewards.<\/p>\n
Norris beat Kimi Antonelli to the top spot on Friday afternoon by two-tenths of a second to secure the leading position on the starting grid for Saturday’s race.<\/p>\n
It marked a strong return to form for McLaren and Norris, who have suffered a challenging start to the sport’s new era under fresh technical regulations.<\/p>\n
However, his pole position is now uncertain after the stewards flagged him for \u201cdriving unnecessarily slowly during qualifying.\u201d<\/p>\n
This alleged breach falls under Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code and is non-compliant with the race director’s event notes.<\/p>\n
Norris will see the stewards at 18:15 local time, where he will deliver his case.<\/p>\n
Should he be penalised, it will be encouraging news for Antonelli, who enters Saturday’s race looking to extend his lead in the drivers’ standings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lando Norris’ sprint pole position at the Miami Grand Prix is under threat as the reigning champion has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[827,830,828,831,829,826,813,43,823,825,824,44,822,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-645526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-headlines","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-news","tag-racing","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
