Lando Norris’ McLaren team escaped with a warning after being investigated for leaving tools in the British driver’s cockpit during opening practice for the Miami Grand Prix.

Norris said he needed to kick his stuttering championship challenge into gear in Florida after seeing team-mate Oscar Piastri usurp him at the top of the standings.
