Norris and Hamilton could be punished for British Grand Prix energy-starved Silverstone
- Norris and Hamilton could be punished for driving too slowly at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix.
- The Guardian reports that Silverstone could be “energy-starved,” meaning that drivers avoid “superclipping” by using engine power less aggressively.
- Norris received a penalty for crossing Max Verstappen to McLaren, with the penalty being that he was not supposed to do so.
Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton and McLaren driver Norris won, saying that their new rules could make it possible to fix the problem with the ongoing energy-starved Silverstone.
The Guardian says that new regulations will allow teams to avoid penalties for the use of energy-starved engines: “With the new rules, drivers will be able to coast with less energy, and that will reduce the risk of being penalized.” Hamilton said that the team could not avoid the problem with the ongoing energy-starved Silverstone.
Why did Hamilton say the new regulations were needed? The Guardian reports that drivers will be able to coast with less energy, which could lead to penalties for the use of energy-starved engines. Norris, in turn, said that the problem with crossing Max Verstappen to McLaren would be resolved by the new regulations.
According to The Guardian, Max Verstappen could also be penalized, and the team could face penalties for crossing the line with McLaren.
Independent reports that Norris warns that the team could be penalized for the use of “energy-starved” engines. The report also says that the team could face penalties for the use of energy-starved engines.
Independent adds that the team could also be punished: “If the drivers do not use energy, they will be penalized.” The report also says that Norris could be penalized for the use of energy-starved engines.
