'If it's because of the delta difference, then most people should be given penalties for the last three or four years...' F1 CanadianGP
The FIA handed the McLaren driver a penalty for what they dubbed ‘unsportsmanlike behaviour’ after he fell behind team-mate Oscar Piastri under Safety Car conditions in the race.
Norris was able to cross the line ninth, but the five seconds added on to his race time dropped him down to P13 come the official chequered flag. “It was too early to box from what we were planning to do, so I wasn’t planning to box in the first place, and then I got a call just before the pit entry.PlanetF1.com recommends“Unfortunately, the rest of the race I was very happy with, good overtakes, good racing a lot of the time.
When it comes to how Norris was driving behind Piastri, he said that it was no different to how others go about doing so behind the Safety Car – and if he was penalised for how he went, then many, many other drivers over time should have had similar treatment.“You want to keep the temperature in the tyres, so everyone leaves gaps and opens up gaps and it wasn’t like I was 10 seconds behind my delta.

F1 Canadian GP live updatesHello from Montreal and bienvenu to The Athletic’s live coverage of the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen notched yet another win for Red Bull in an utterly dominant season.Following a wet and wild Friday and Saturday at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, we got the show we expected at the front, where Verstappen capitalized on his pole position start but didn’t produce quite the kind of lead he’s posted at previous races, finishing a comparatively measly 9.5 seconds ahead of Fernando Alonso. Given his difficulty getting his tires into the desired tire temperature, Verstappen described the GP as 'not a very straightforward race,' a funny term considering he held his lead from lights out to checkered flag. Behind Verstappen, we got a proper battle between Alonso and Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes, with Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz just off the podium. Sergio Pérez did well to finish P6 after starting P12, but didn’t produce the sort of fightback that his teammate has delivered when starting far back.George Russell — whose too close encounter with the wall triggered an early safety car — made the most of his new front wing, fighting back from last to P8, only for a brake issue to force his eventual retirement.Provisional finishing order:Max Verstappen (Red Bull)Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin)Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)Charles Leclerc (Ferrari)Carlos Sainz (Ferrari)Sergio Pérez (Red Bull)Alex Albon (Williams)Esteban Ocon (Alpine)Lance Stroll (Aston Martin)Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo)Oscar Piastri (McLaren)Pierre Gasly (Alpine)Lando Norris (McLaren)Yuki Tsunoda (AlphaTauri)Nico Hülkenberg (Haas)Zhou Guanyu (Alfa Romeo)Kevin Magnussen (Haas)Nyck de Vries (AlphaTauri)DNF: George Russel (Mercedes)DNF: Logan Sargeant (Williams)(Photo: Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
