Lando Norris finished seventh in the Russian Grand Prix, but the McLaren driver might get a time penalty. The 21-year old driver went into the pit lane in the closing stages of the race but did not do so according to the regulations. For this reason, Norris now has to go to the stewards.

Norris stayed out on hard tyres for a long time, but when he tried to enter pit lane things went wrong. He lost control and ended up next to the pit entry. The Brit went into the pit lane after all, across the solid line.

Norris must therefore go to the stewards at 15:45 UK time to explain exactly what went wrong. Normally there would be heavy penalties for this.
