The McLaren driver and Ferrari home favourite are under investigation for arriving late to the official FIA media session, triggering a review under Article B10.1.1a of the sporting regulations.<\/p>\n

Both drivers featured in the first of two scheduled groups during Thursday\u2019s press conference, which was delayed by a couple of minutes after Norris failed to arrive on time.<\/p>\n

The FIA has confirmed both will appear before the stewards on Friday morning, with Leclerc scheduled to attend at 10am local time and Norris 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n

The breach relates specifically to late attendance at the official Thursday press conference, which forms part of mandatory media obligations for drivers across race weekends.<\/p>\n

While the offence is considered minor in nature, it remains a technical breach of the regulations and typically results in either a reprimand or a small fine.<\/p>\n

Drivers are split into two groups of three for the Thursday media session, a format introduced in recent years to balance coverage and avoid overcrowding in the FIA\u2019s one-hour window.<\/p>\n

The FIA\u2019s handling of media compliance has drawn increased attention in recent seasons, with governing body scrutiny extending beyond on-track matters to include press engagement and conduct in official sessions.<\/p>\n

A decision is expected ahead of the opening practice sessions on Friday.<\/p>\n
