McLaren have failed in their bid to overturn Lando Norris’ penalty from the United States Grand Prix.

The team invoked a “right of review”, asking the stewards to look again at the turn 12 incident in Austin, where Norris was handed a five-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining a lasting advantage while overtaking Max Verstappen in the closing stages.
