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":254625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[67510,67513,67511,67514,67512,67509,31514,49464,67508,123,125,124,67507,4974],"class_list":["post-254624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-motorsport","tag-racing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
