Norris Penalty, Spa Hope, New Wing | Bristol News

Lando Norris takes a ten-place grid penalty at Spa for McLaren’s fourth power unit—yes, four—due to a Mercedes engine reliability fix they couldn’t wait for. The team gambled on Belgium’s overtaking-friendly track and post-race upgrade window, hoping to bounce back after a shaky season. Norris’s car has already struggled with this unit, missing China and battling in Japan and Monaco. McLaren’s new unit will stay for the rest of the year, paired with a fresh rear wing designed for Spa’s high-speed corners—after Red Bull’s wing woes this season. Their goal? Smooth sailing and a climb up the standings with upcoming upgrades. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
