168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris has been cleared of erratic driving in his defence against 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc on the final lap of the F1 United States Grand Prix sprint race.

The McLaren driver came un🥂der pressure from the Ferrari duo on the 19th a෴nd last lap of Saturday’s sprint race when a lock-up at the first corner opened the door for Carlos Sainz to slip by into second.

Norris managed to fend off the second Ferrari of Lecle✱rc to claim third but the pair almost came to blows when the Monagasque nearly rear-ended t💙he McLaren during a frantic last-lap squabble.

Leclerc came over team radio to complain that Norris was moving unde𝐆r braking.

But the stewards dete💛rmined "that there is no erratic driving and hence take no further action". 

"There did not appear to b♎e any significant changes of direction under braking, and the move at Turn 15 was a legitimate defending move by the driver of Car 4," the stewards said.

"In 𝕴Turn 1 Car 4 locked up under braking and went wide, losing a position. Accordingly the Stewards determine that there is no erratic driving and henc✅e take no further action." 

Speaking to Sky Sports after the race, Leclerc said he felt🍎 the move was "on the limit". 

"I did not expect him to do that. Maybe in the heat of the moment I considered that he moved💖 under braking. I have to look back at the images," he said.🍌 

"It seems to be on the limit with the way hꦏe took the line but in the end if's racing as well. He wan✱ted to keep the position.

"I tried. I🐷t was a clos♍e call. We nearly crashed but in the end nobody crashed and he finished in front."

Asked about the FIA investigation, Norris replied: “I don't know where....oh the one where you have to turn and brake the whole way arouꦆnd?

“I mean, you brake in the corner. Sܫo🎀 it makes sense.”

Norris dropped two points to title rival Max Verstappen, with the Red Bull driver claiming a dominant victory to extend his champi🦋onship lead to 54 points.

Qualifying for Sun♓day’s United States Grand Prix gets underway at 11pm BST.
