Norris to adapt his approach in title fight with Verstappen
McLaren driver Lando Norris, of Britain, steers through a turn during the U.S. Grand Prix auto race at Circuit of the Americas, October 20, 2024, in Austin, Texas

LANDO NORRIS says he will make changes to his approach in his world championship battle with Max Verstappen.

The British driver was controversially demoted from third to fourth in Austin last weekend after being handed a five-second penalty for gaining an advantage by running off the track to pass Verstappen in the closing stages, at the end of a thrilling battle between the title protagonists.

McLaren felt Verstappen forced Norris off the track and suggested it was a regular move deployed by the Dutchman when defending. The team have asked the stewards for a “right of review” and a hearing will take place in Mexico on Friday.
